Built on the familiar character of soju, Pure Gangwon is finished with a small amount of wild pine mushroom extract for a smoother drinking experience.
The extract is added so delicately that virtually no mushroom aroma is perceptible; rather than imparting mushroom flavor, it enhances the smoothness of each sip and softens the sharpness of the alcohol. Low-temperature filtration further reduces unwanted off-notes, preserving a clear, clean taste.
Despite its 19.5% ABV, Pure Gangwon is neither sharp nor harsh. Its alcohol aroma is less pronounced than that of diluted soju, making it smooth and approachable.
