Soju Tasting at Distillery - story of 3 pigs
Overview

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.

5.00Sam gave a hugely entertaining and informative presentation on the process of making soju and the history of the Three Pigs Distillery. We loved all of the sojus we tried. I recommend this experience for anyone interested in soju or spirits in general. Thanks to Sam also for the great restaurant recommendations!
Excellent!

5.00Sam was a great person and was friendly as well as knowledgeable and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the evening, it was a fun group of people who attended! Sam not only held a great tour but we had a great broader conversation on life and travel and other things, Needless to say it was a very lovely evening, he then recommended our group a great spot for local food for dinner nearby, which we all really needed after the amount of amazing Soju we had.
Cool, educational and boozy.

5.00A fun and interesting foray into the world of soju. Sam did a great job of balancing the info with the drinking, so it didn't just feel like a museum visit, or a trip to a bar. The soju is strong but tasty and it was cool to learn about the process.
Can definitely recommend

5.00Very informative tasting where you get to see the actual process of making Soju at the three pigs distillery. Sam was a great teacher and he definitely knew a lot about Soju. At the end you get to taste seven different Sojus and even taste the soju before it's fermented.
Highly recommend

5.00The soju tasting was a great experience thanks to Sam! Our family felt Sam's English was very easy to understand. It was clear he was very knowledgeable on the history of soju and is heavily involved in the brewing process at this location. We appreciated the wide variety of tastes varying in alcohol strength. Another positive is that you're able to buy bottles of soju to take with at the end if you'd like, but there wasn't any sales pressure. Highly recommend Sam and this soju tasting while visiting Seoul!
Great Soju Tasting
