Baekgeolli is a newly introduced product inspired by the popularity of 'Baekgeolli Premium,' which has been steadily selling over 5,000 bottles every month since its launch in April last year.

From the development stage, CEO Baek Jong-won personally participated, introducing a differentiated manufacturing method from products sold on the market, and emphasizing the unique flavor of makgeolli by using only three ingredients: rice, water, and fermenting agents.

Using high-quality Yesan rice to brew the alcohol, it brings out a rich sweetness, and through a process of triple filtering and triple low-temperature aging, it reduces the characteristic off-flavors of makgeolli while maximizing the deep grain aroma of the raw materials.

The alcohol content is 6.5%, making it easy to drink without burden.

In particular, it does not use any artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin sodium, or sucralose, which are commonly used in typical makgeolli production to add sweetness, allowing you to enjoy only the clean sweetness of the rice itself. It also boasts excellent pairing with spicy snacks like spicy chicken feet, as well as with gopchang (beef intestines) and meats.

Starting today, it can be found at CU convenience stores, The Born Korea franchise stores (Hanshin Pocha, Mak-i Oreum, Saemaeul Sikdang, Wonjo Ssambapjip, Insaeng Seolleongtang, Nakwon Gopchang), Yesan Market, Sapgyo Market, and more.
