Andong is an ancient city nestled between three mountain ranges, with the Nakdong River — South Korea's longest — winding through it. Located in the northeast of Gyeongsangbuk Province, Andong is steeped in traditional culture.

The city confidently calls itself 'the spirit of Korea' — a slogan that captures the city's broader cultural significance and gives a special nod to Andong's signature spirit: slow-distilled, terroir-forward soju. 

Traditional Andong soju packs a punch at 40-45% ABV and is intended to be sipped and savored.

With a modest 17% alcohol content, Ilpoom 17 is a premium rice soju made for everyday enjoyment.*

True to its origins, it has a clean flavor, soft profile, and subtle natural sweetness that reminds us of a quality cheongju or sake.
