Yecheonju Sawol 365

Description

Yecheonju Sawol365 is a 36.5% ABV distilled spirit from Gyeongsangbuk-do, built around Korean omija (Schisandra chinensis) in dual form: distilled omija spirit and dried-omija extract. This double-extraction approach captures both the volatile aromatic compounds released during distillation and the deeper, more complex flavors drawn from the dried berries. Omija's signature five-taste profile — sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent — gives this spirit a layered complexity that few single-ingredient spirits can match. The nose opens with bright, almost electric berry tartness, dried red currant, and a clean herbal undertone. On the palate, the body is medium with a polished texture. The 36.5% ABV delivers controlled warmth, and the omija character unfolds in stages: initial tartness, then sweetness, then a subtle peppery pungency that keeps the palate engaged. The finish is moderately long, clean, and aromatic, with lingering omija berry character. Bottled at 375ml. Serve neat at room temperature to appreciate the five-taste complexity, or slightly chilled; pairs well with rich grilled meats (galbi) where the spirit's tartness cuts fat, bossam, and sashimi.
