- The Daily Pour
- A very good soju. Incredibly smooth and easy-drinking, with enough complexity to stand apart from the watered-down vodka profile many expect. Hana Makgeolli is producing thoughtful, high-quality Korean sool in NYC.

-
Nose:
More complex on the nose than most standard green-bottle soju. Delicate fruity and floral notes lead, with chamomile, white pepper, fresh pear, and fragrant rice.
-
Taste:
A fairly clean, smooth profile with subtle notes of grape and white pepper, supported by a light grainy backbone.
-
Finish:
A somewhat short finish but leaves with some nice notes of sweet jasmine rice.
-
Overall:
A very good soju. Incredibly smooth and easy-drinking, with enough complexity to stand apart from the watered-down vodka profile many expect. Hana Makgeolli is producing thoughtful, high-quality Korean sool in NYC.
