ABOUT SOJU
SOJU IS CONSIDERED THE MOST POPULAR DISTILLED SPIRIT IN KOREA
It is generally made from the finest natural rice, barley, sweet potatoes, and/or tapioca. With an alcohol content of around 20%, soju is milder than most other distilled spirits. The clear, colorless appearance of Jinro Soju may be similar to vodka, but the nose, flavor, feel and finish are considerably more complex, giving it unlimited potential for creating unique and exciting cocktails. From nose to finish, a soju will infuse you with freshness, silky softness and a flavorful finish. Soju tastes best when served chilled. This versatile spirit may also be served as a shot, on the rocks, or infused with wide variety of fruit juices and cocktail mixers to please any palette.
