Jinro Plum Soju 360ml 13%
★★★★½ 4.3 (7 reviews)Sweet, soft, and dangerously easy to keep pouring. This is Jinro's plum soju (maesil, if you want the Korean name) and it tastes like ripe plum candy with a clean little kick. Chill it hard, line up the tiny glasses, and it turns any night into a Korean BBQ night. Pour for your mate first, that's the rule.
Pop the cap and you get juicy ripe plum, jammy and a touch floral. On the sip it's smooth and gently sweet, plum syrup more than tart fruit, with a faint almond hint that comes off the plum pits. The soju base underneath is clean and soft, so at 13% it goes down way too smoothly. Short, sweet finish, no harsh burn. It's a sipper that drinks like a treat.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Jinro, made by HiteJinro in South Korea, the brand behind the best-selling spirit on the planet. Their Chamisul line is famous for a clean, soft taste from bamboo-charcoal filtering, and this plum version splashes ripe maesil fruit over that smooth base. Soju has been Korea's everyday drink for centuries, and Jinro has been making it since 1924. This is the fruity, friendly end of it.
