Description

Sula Chrysanthemumju infuses dried chrysanthemum flowers into a base of Gyeonggi-do glutinous rice, nuruk, and distilled spirit, and the floral addition genuinely transforms the drinking experience. At 15% ABV, the nose opens with a distinct dried-flower herbiness - not perfumy or soapy, but more like the aroma of a traditional Korean herbal pillow, earthy and calming. The chrysanthemum's slight bitterness threads through the palate, providing a counterpoint to the glutinous rice's inherent sweetness. The texture is medium and smooth, with the distilled spirit adding clarity and lift. The finish lingers with a pleasant herbal dryness and a faint honey note from the rice. Serve at 10-13°C with saengseon-jjim (steamed fish in soy sauce), where the floral herbiness complements the savory braising without competing, or with dotori-muk (acorn jelly), where the jelly's neutral, slightly tannic profile lets the chrysanthemum note take center stage.
