Leegangju Traditional Korean Liqueur 19% 200ml

Leegangju (이강주) is a traditional Korean liqueur, renowned as one of the celebrated spirits from the Joseon Dynasty. This distinctive soju is distilled from rice and barley, then infused with Korean pear, fresh ginger, turmeric, and a hint of cinnamon, creating a uniquely aromatic and complex flavour profile. The initial sweetness from the pear is beautifully balanced by the gentle warmth of ginger and the subtle earthiness of turmeric. It is typically enjoyed chilled and served neat in small glasses as an aperitif or alongside savoury Korean dishes like jeon (pancakes) or grilled meats. For a different experience, it can also be used as a base for cocktails, adding an elegant Korean twist. This spirit is a wonderful introduction for those curious about the diverse world of traditional Korean alcoholic beverages beyond standard soju.
