It is a rice-based soju made with generous amounts of pine needles and spruce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rice is first brewed with nuruk, a traditional fermentation starter of wild fungi, yeast and lactic acid bacteria, together with spruce and pine needles. It is then distilled and brought to bottling strength with spruce tea rather than plain water, so the forest character runs through every stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pine flavor is exceptionally nuanced: subtle pine, eucalyptus and juniper berry with a fresh character, finishing refreshingly with a hint of juniper and sancho pepper spice. A soju with real depth for anyone who loves gin or forest botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also makes a bright Rice Soju Mango cocktail: shake it with mango juice, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and a dash of Angostura bitters, strain over ice and garnish with fresh mango chunks and lime wedges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle pine, eucalyptus, juniper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, nuanced pine and rice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refreshing, juniper and sancho pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solsongju, Korea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rice soju with pine and spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water, rice, pine, spruce, nuruk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProofing:\u003c\/strong\u003e With spruce tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it on the rocks with a splash of soda, or use it in place of gin in a pine-forward Gimlet or Highball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Damsoul made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRice brewed with pine needles and spruce, using nuruk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow old is the recipe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolsongju's tradition dates back about 500 years to the Joseon dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I drink it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the rocks with a splash of soda, or in cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/liqueur-more\"\u003eLiqueur \u0026amp; More collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solsongju","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68031587582261,"sku":"VWS200430586","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-29951.webp?v=1793746767","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/solsongju-damsoul-pine-soju-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
