Soju
Note Profile
About
Soju smells of clean, neutral alcohol. It is mild and slightly sweet, close to vodka rather than to a grain spirit, and it reads like a diluted sake with the fruit taken out.

Origin
A Korean spirit distilled from rice, wheat, barley or sweet potato. Alcohol content runs from about 12.5% to 53%, but since 2007 the low-alcohol type below 20% has been the common one. Production method splits the smell in two. Distilled soju is complex and rich. Diluted soju, the mass-market bottle, is described by the same study as an even quality with a simple taste and aroma.
Usage in Perfumery
A gourmand and beverage note. It gives a clean alcoholic lift without the fruit of sake.
