Giwon Batch 2 is a product from Three Societies, Korea's first single malt whiskey distillery. It is completed by blending whiskey aged in virgin American oak casks and first-fill American bourbon casks. All production processes take place in Hwado, Namyangju, where there is a large temperature difference between day and night, resulting in a unique flavor. When tasted, it features rich oak and caramel aromas along with a subtle Korean-style spiciness, offering a sweet and smooth taste.

CU has prepared 900 bottles of Giwon Batch 2, the largest quantity from a single sales channel. In February, CU introduced Giwon Batch 1, the first regular batch whiskey of Giwon, on Pocket CU, selling out the pre-sale quantity of 50 bottles in about 48 seconds, and in March, all prepared stock of about 1,000 bottles was sold.

A BGF Retail official said, “Considering the high interest in Giwon Batch 2 following the great success of Giwon Batch 1, we proactively secured a large quantity. We will continue to introduce various products to provide customers with special purchasing experiences and consistently strive to enhance customer benefits.”
