Made only with eco-friendly ingredients, and although it is brewed solely from non-glutinous rice, its light sweetness and slight acidity harmonize with the alcohol for a superb clean, light taste, and it goes down smoothly.

The brewer
Dusul Doga is a small brewery inside Ajagae Market in Gaeun-eup, Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang. Kim Du-su and Lee Jae-hui, a couple who worked in Silicon Valley before moving to the countryside in Mungyeong in 2005, began brewing when they saw that their village community's organic rice was not selling. They make an iyangju (double-brewed liquor) from the village's non-glutinous rice, Korean wheat nuruk and yeast, and blend the different flavors of each fermentation tank to create Huiyangsan Makgeolli 9 and 15.
