What is Xoju?
Xoju is a producer of artisanal beverages, specializing in handcrafted apple and quince-based spirits. Each bottle is meticulously crafted using a traditional process that involves crushing, fermenting, and distilling 21 hand-picked apples from Mungyeong, Korea. The quince is steeped in fermented apple juices to enhance its natural aroma. The distillation process employs Charente-style copper stills, a method renowned for producing high-quality spirits like cognac. Following the initial distillation, plums are introduced for fermentation and undergo a second distillation in similar copper stills. The resulting distilled spirits are then blended and aged for four months in traditional Korean porcelain vessels. This commitment to traditional methods and quality ingredients positions Xoju as a premium player in the beverage industry.
