Description
The 'Spring' installment of the Four Seasons series from Chungcheongbuk-do, this 15% yakju ferments glutinous rice with hyangongok (a traditional aromatic starter) to produce one of the most fragrant Korean bottles you can find. The nose is immediately striking - white peach, osmanthus flower, and a dusting of powdered sugar that feels genuinely spring-like. On the palate, the body is round and generously textured, with the glutinous rice lending a pillowy softness that carries the fruit-floral notes effortlessly. The finish turns gently nutty with a clean drop-off. Credentials are serious: 2017 Woorisool Grand Prize (yakju/cheongju), 2019 Excellent Award, and service at the 2019 Korea-Belgium presidential summit dinner. Serve at 10-12°C with sannakji (live octopus), where the drink's aromatic lift contrasts the sesame oil's nuttiness, or with yeonpo-tang (octopus soup), whose delicate broth lets the floral nose shine without competition.
