Soju Tasting at Distillery - story of 3 pigs

Korean alcohol is a lot more than just a green bottle of soju, which is diluted ethanol with artificial sweetener. Broadly, Korean alcohols are divided into Tak-ju (unfiltered rice wine), Cheong-ju (filtered clear rice wine) and So-ju (distilled spirit). Here, we will focus on our specialty, soju, but we can also taste other types too.
Samhae soju was a beloved choice of spirit among the noble class of Joseon dynasty(1392~1894). This luxurious alcohol had caused cult following, but the making was so resource(rice)-heavy that production had to stop during famines. The current master, Hyeonjong Kim had learned and practiced for more than 10 years under master Taeksang Kim who had inherited and kept the recipe in the family. Sadly, master Taeksang Kim passed away in 2021. We will have a privilege to taste the history.

5.00This was such a fun activity to do! Sam is a fantastic host and explain the Soju process very well. We loved hearing about the historical context as well. The best part was the conversation that flowed between our group and Sam as we enjoyed our Soju tasting. He was happy to talk to us about South Korean culture and answer any questions we had. To top it off Sam even gave us a detailed list of recommendations for dinner afterwards. Can’t say enough great things about this experience! So memorable.
Great knowledge and...

5.00Sam was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Soju making process. We got to see in progress fermentation and the final product was exceptional. The Soju was much higher proof than the green bottles you find around Seoul but Sam's method is the traditional way. We pickep up a bottle of the Mandirin flavor, it was phenomenal. We'll be going back in a few years to taste the newly started aged Soju.
