Mir is a traditional Korean soju distilled from rice, bottled at 22% ABV in a 375ml bottle.
It is one of the purest soju you can find, and it will change your perception of soju.
It is distilled from local rice from Gyeonggi province.
It is one of the most traditional soju, made with only three ingredients: rice, nuruk (a traditional Korean fermentation starter) and water.
Clean, soft and gently sweet from the rice, it is made for sipping chilled with Korean food. Unlike mass-market green-bottle soju, which is often made from diluted neutral spirit, traditional distilled soju like Mir keeps the delicate character of the rice and the earthy depth of nuruk, offering a fuller, more nuanced taste. Its minimalist bottle with Korean calligraphy makes it a thoughtful gift for food lovers.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Mir well chilled in small glasses, neat, in the Korean tradition of pouring for others at the table. It is also lovely on the rocks with a twist of lemon or a slice of Asian pear, or mixed with sparkling water and fresh fruit for a light highball. Pair it with Korean barbecue, kimchi pancakes, bibimbap, japchae, fried chicken and grilled fish, or with sushi and lightly salted snacks. For a dinner party, set out small glasses and pour for each other as a sign of friendship. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
