Jung One Gin Review
Jung One, which means "garden" in Korean, is the first spirit we've encountered that uses the term "single malt gin," and is also the first Korean gin we've sampled at VinePair HQ — and we were overwhelmingly impressed. Part of the trend of gins that showcase locally grown botanicals, it features Korean sansho pepper, baby ginseng, pine needle, and perilla leaves. The malted barley base gives the gin a slightly earthy and savory aroma, and a rich texture on the palate. Meanwhile, the flavor profile pairs traditional gin notes of juniper, coriander, and citrus with the unique influence of Korean ingredients.
