Hitejinro said on the 15th it will launch "Ilpoom Jinro 26-year-old" on the 16th. Ilpoom Jinro 26-year-old will be limited to 7,500 bottles.
Ilpoom Jinro 26-year-old is a product made by distilling a spirit from 100% pure rice mash and aging it in oak barrels for more than 26 years. The distinctive round, savory flavor of rice distillate is enhanced by barrel aging, featuring a smoky aroma and a sweetness reminiscent of vanilla, cherry, and chocolate liqueur. Each package is assigned a limited number from 1 to 7,500.
Ilpoom Jinro 26-year-old will be sold at select restaurants, eateries, and hotels. General consumers can purchase it through a lottery after placing a pre-order on the limited-edition transaction platform KREAM from 11 a.m. on the 22nd to 11 a.m. on the 24th.
A Hitejinro official said, "Hitejinro has been unveiling Ilpoom Jinro aged for many years with top-tier quality every year through constant research, development, and investment," and added, "As Korea's leading liquor company, we will continue to expand the market by enhancing the authenticity and quality of premium distilled soju with a sense of mission."
