Description
Sulsaem 16 is a 16% ABV spirit from Gyeonggi-do that brings together Korean rice and domestically grown omija (schisandra berry) on a base of neutral spirit and refined sugar. Omija, the celebrated five-flavor berry of Korean traditional medicine, contributes sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent notes simultaneously - a complexity that no single fruit can replicate. The rice component provides a soft, rounded grain sweetness that anchors the omija's tartness, while the 16% ABV keeps the palate light enough for food pairing without sacrificing structure. The result is a vivid red-berry-tinted spirit with genuine aromatic depth. Sulsaem's Gyeonggi-do operation focuses on ingredient-driven soju expressions, and this bottle exemplifies their approach of letting a single botanical define the drinking experience.
