[Today's New Product] "Smooth Finish Through Triple Distillation" ... HiteJinro Launches 'Ilpum Jinro 1924 Heritage'

Jointly Developed by HiteJinro and the National Institute of Crop Science

Crafted with a Rice Variety Specially Cultivated for Distilled Soju

HiteJinro is launching 'Ilpum Jinro Rice' as a product for the first time, in order to establish a unique standard and signature taste exclusive to Ilpum Jinro.

On September 8, HiteJinro announced the limited launch of the premium distilled soju 'Ilpum Jinro 1924 Heritage', made using 100% Ilpum Jinro Rice and distilled three times. Based on over 100 years of accumulated brewing and distilling expertise, HiteJinro planned the release of Ilpum Jinro 1924 Heritage to differentiate the product not only through the production process but also from the raw ingredients.

Ilpum Jinro 1924 Heritage is differentiated from the raw ingredients, as it is made using only Ilpum Jinro Rice—a specialized variety for distilled soju production—developed and cultivated jointly by HiteJinro and the National Institute of Crop Science. Only freshly harvested rice that meets strict quality standards is carefully selected, then fermented into a clear mash and distilled.

Furthermore, the product undergoes a total of three rounds of repeated distillation to achieve maximum purity. In each step, off-flavors are removed, preserving the rice's subtle aroma and clean flavor. Drawing on HiteJinro's century-long brewing expertise, the optimal aging process creates a round and crisp taste. It is characterized by a smooth finish, with little perceptible burn despite its 30% alcohol content.

Ilpum Jinro 1924 Heritage will be available sequentially at select restaurants, eateries, hotels, and major supermarkets nationwide following its release on September 9.
