Haemil Trading’s ‘Natterjack Irish Whiskey’ won the grand award in the blended Scotch standard (under 12 years) category at the 2025 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards.
Natterjack is a small toad from Ireland, representing the spirit of Natterjack that constantly challenges and adventures. Based on the slogan 'We’re doing whiskey our way,' it introduces new and fresh whiskies.
Natterjack whiskey is a cask strength bourbon-style whiskey distilled three times in an Irish pot still and finished in virgin American oak barrels. Irish whiskey is characterized by being produced through a three-time distillation process in a pot still made of copper.
Natterjack cask strength 63% boasts a colorful, complex flavor and excellent balance, designed directly by the top master blender. Each sip leaves a smooth and deep aftertaste, reminiscent of ripe oranges soaked in honey.
Natterjack blend 1 40% is designed to allow you to experience the pleasant yet witty joys of everyday life, showcasing Natterjack's unique smoothness and fantastic fruity aroma.
The product is available at Lotte Duty Free, Gyeongbokgung Duty Free, Jeju Air, and is also sold online through Homeplus and CU.
