[Today's New Product] E-Mart24 to Release Just 1,700 Bottles of 'Kim Changsoo Whisky Gimpo 2026'
Launches the "Gimpo 2026 Edition," made with four types of sherry casks

E-Mart24 announced on October 16 that it will sell 1,700 bottles of the “Gimpo 2026 Edition” by Kim Changsoo Whisky, a domestic single-malt whisky brand, starting October 16.
The Gimpo 2026 Edition is the latest release in the Kim Changsoo Whisky Gimpo series, which has come out annually since 2023. It uses four types of sherry casks—Amontillado, Oloroso, Moscatel, and Pedro Ximénez—to create rich fruity aromas and a sweet yet deep flavor. It was made using the “cask strength” method, in which the whisky is bottled at its original strength without adding water. It has an alcohol content of 52.2% and is priced at 228,800 won.
Earlier, all 296 bottles of Kim Changsoo Whisky’s “Celestial Series Moon (Eclipse)” edition, which E-Mart24 sold through its mobile app in June, were snapped up within two minutes of sales starting.
The new edition will be available at E-Mart24 stores and through its mobile app. App sales will begin at 10 a.m. on October 16. The 1,700 bottles secured for this release represent the largest quantity Kim Changsoo Whisky has ever supplied to a single retail channel.
