About this drink
"Eouya" is a 100% fermented liquor made with care over 45 days from yagwanmun (Chinese bushclover) grown in the sea breeze off Jeju, using a traditional method handed down for three generations. Grassy, pear and cinnamon aromas come through, and it tastes sweet yet light. The alcohol is subdued, and the finish leaves a slight tannic touch, like wine. It is also good as a cocktail with ice and tonic.
