Korean Sool is the traditional name for alcohol. This alcohol type features different varieties of beverages that reflect Korea’s deep-rooted cultural heritage.
Minhwa Spirits is one brand that’s fully committed to delivering authentic Korean Sool in the United States today. This brand has a team of experts who use traditional methods to craft each product in-house. That said, below are three must-try American-made alcohol products from the Minhwa Spirits collection:
1.Yong / 용
This product is available in two options:
- 750ml at 40% abv / 80 proof
- 375ml at 40% abv / 80 proof
In Korean, Yong means “dragon.” This translates to strength and elegance. The product comes with a smooth and crisp finish. This is possible because the high-ABV soju comes from 100% rice. This exceptional quality explains why the American-made Korean Sool won the Double Gold Winner at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Regardless of whether you’re a newbie or a soju enthusiast, you certainly won’t go wrong trying Yong today. It offers a clean and refined flavor profile. Thanks to its active ingredient, this product also delivers subtle rice undertones.
2.Queen Huh / 허황옥
This product is only available in one version—750ml at 45% ABV / 90 proof.
Today, Queen Huh is Minhwa Spirits’ unique craft gin. This is not just any gin. Instead, it’s a botanical gin infused with chai. This is a unique combo of modern craft and Korean tradition. The infusion of chai creates warm, spiced complexity. This doesn’t only maintain a smooth, aromatic profile. It also enhances the depth of this Korean Sool.
If you’re specifically interested in a refined, culturally-inspired twist on classic gin, then Queen Huh is a perfect pick. The American-made high-ABV spirit pays homage to the legendary Princess Huh Hwang-ok.
With Minhwa Spirits, you should expect something aromatic. In addition, this Korean Sool offers hints of juniper and exotic spices. These offerings create a balanced palate, in which the subtle chai warmth and the freshness of botanicals meet.
3.Dokkaebi / 도깨비
This product only has one type—375ml at 17% abv / 34 proof.
With an ABV of 17%, Dokkaebi is another uniquely crafted soju we recommend you try today. Inspired by the mischievous creatures of Korean folklore, this product comes with a smooth and approachable profile. You should consider this spirit if you’re a newbie. Dokkaebi is also perfect if you’re only interested in a lighter cocktail.
With Dokkaebi from Minhwa Spirits, you can always expect a gentle sweetness. This soju also gives subtle floral notes.
