ABOUT JINRO
JINRO Soju is the most-selling spirit brand in the world.
JINRO is soju, and so much more.
JINRO is best known for its soju, but it also produces other boozy beverages. JINRO ORIGINAL SOJU is the flagship label produced since 1924. JINRO FRESH SOJU is a slightly lower-ABV version filtered through charcoal made from Korean bamboo. JINRO 24, a 24-percent-ABV version of the spirit, is ideal for mixing in cocktails.
JINRO also has a flavoured soju lineup, including JINRO GRAPEFRUIT SOJU, JINRO GREEN GRAPE SOJU, JINRO PEACH SOJU, JINRO STRAWBERRY SOJU and JINRO PLUM SOJU. It produces a raspberry wine (JINRO Bok Bun Ja), a plum wine (JINRO Mae Hwa Soo), and a rice wine (JINRO Makguli). Another offering is its 3-percent-ABV, peach-flavoured bubbly drink called JINRO TokTok Peach.
JINRO Soju is both social lubricant and staple of South Korean cuisine.
Soju is essential to any South Korean outing, so much so that JINRO’s small, 360-milliliter green bottle is synonymous with the soju category.
“A little green bottle, shot glasses around,” Max Soh, general manager and beverage director of New York’s Oiji, said in a 2015 interview. “When we go out to drink and have fun, soju’s always been there.”
