It is priced at 229,800 won and only 30 bottles will be sold. The new product is crafted by blending four types of original spirits, matured in sherry casks and Madeira wine casks, carefully selected by CEO Kim Changsoo, in the optimal ratio. It is a cask strength product with an ABV of 51.8%, bottled without dilution.
The front label of the package features a dynamic ink painting of a galloping red horse, adding a visually striking touch. On the side, the phrase 'Byeongo Gilchang Cheonma Haenggong' (Byeong-o Gilchang Cheonma Haenggong, 丙午吉昌 天馬行空) is inscribed, conveying wishes for all customers to thrive in the new year with the spirit of a heavenly horse soaring across the sky.
