*Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53
A Unique Spirit Crafted from the Purity of Yangpyeong
Where the Han River begins, Yangpyeong is renowned for its pristine environment, producing the pure water and whole wheat that form the foundation of Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53.
Created by Woobojoocheck, this soju reflects Korea's rich K-suul (traditional alcohol) culture.
At 53% ABV, this premium distilled soju offers a bold and refined drinking experience that sets it apart from Western spirits like whiskey, brandy, vodka, or gin.
A Distilled Soju Inspired by the Art of Perfume-Making
The origins of distillation trace back to perfume-making techniques, where the focus was on capturing the most delicate aromas. Embracing this concept, Woobojoocheck applied perfume-making principles to create a soju that is as aromatic as it is flavorful.
Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53 is crafted to deliver a fragrance-forward experience that elevates the traditional Korean spirit.
Supporting Local Agriculture: Korean Wheat Soju in Partnership with Yangpyeong County
Situated in Yangpyeong, Woobojoocheck is committed to promoting the use of Korean-grown wheat.
Originally established as a makgeolli brewery, the distillery discovered the unique charm of wheat-based makgeolli, known for its dry and tangy profile compared to rice-based alternatives.
Building on this foundation, Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53 captures the concentrated aroma and essence of wheat, offering a distinct sensory journey:
- Aromas: A nutty aroma evolves into a fresh, grassy note.
- Flavor: A dry body with hints of spice and a gentle yeast finish.
- Texture: Subtle yet complex, the spirit balances richness and refinement.
This collaboration with Yangpyeong County not only highlights the region's agricultural excellence but also introduces a bold innovation to the world of distilled soju.
A Bold 53% ABV to Highlight the Spirit's Essence
Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53 is bottled at an ideal 53% ABV, maximizing its natural aroma and depth of flavor.
This high-proof spirit is versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways:
- Neat: Savor the pure, unadulterated character of the spirit.
- On the Rocks (with ice): A chilled option that may develop a natural haze, preserving the rich aroma.
The unique cloudiness that may appear when served on the rocks, often referred to as the "clouding" effect in whiskey, occurs because of unfiltered aroma compounds like fatty acids and esters.
This is a mark of authenticity, as the non-chill-filtered process ensures that every bottle retains its true essence.
- In a Highball: A refreshing cocktail where soju is mixed with soda or other fizzy beverages for a light and effervescent drink.
The high-proof nature of Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53 ensures that its aromatic profile is preserved even when mixed with soda or other soft drinks, offering a refreshing yet deeply flavorful experience
Unlike diluted soju, Yangpyeong Wheat Soju 53 is designed to be savored slowly.
Allow its aromas to unfold, filling your senses before it gently slides down,
leaving a lasting impression of Korea’s distilled spirit tradition.
Note: When enjoyed on the rocks, cloudiness may appear!
This is a natural phenomenon, not a defect, and occurs because the soju is not chill-filtered to preserve its authentic aroma. Every product undergoes rigorous quality inspections to ensure safety and premium quality.
