Seomak 12

Seochon Makgeolli 12% from Onzi Brewery (온지 서막12) is a unique, single-origin rice wine crafted through a single, extended fermentation process that lasts for three months. This careful, low-temperature aging brings out a distinctive combination of flavors and aromas.

The beverage stands out with its lively, refreshing acidity, sure to appeal to those who enjoy a slightly sour profile. This acidity is soon followed by a savory yeastiness, providing a depth and richness beyond the initial tang. As a higher-proof makgeolli (12%), it also has a note of pleasant alcohol-driven bitterness, yet remains easy to drink due to its light texture and smooth finish.

Seochon Makgeolli 12% is described as having a vibrant citrus fruit character, evoking hints of plum, grape, and apricot—delivering a bright, fruity aroma balanced harmoniously with the underlying grain notes. The overall flavor profile strikes a delicate balance between acidity and sweetness, offering a rich, deep taste experience without the roughness sometimes associated with traditional makgeolli. Additionally, the drink features gentle carbonation, making it exceptionally smooth and comfortable to enjoy.
