Quick Facts: ABV: 12%  |  Origin: Korea  |  Style: Grape-Flavored Spirit  |  Size: 750ml

Production & Heritage

Han Jan — Korean for "one glass" (한잔) — draws from Korea's long tradition of clean, grain-based distillation. At 12% ABV, it sits squarely in the soju-strength category, making it significantly lighter than standard vodka. The grape flavoring gives it a distinctly fruity, accessible profile that has become increasingly popular in the Korean flavored-spirit segment, where consumers seek sessionable drinks that can be enjoyed chilled and straight or mixed into low-proof cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh Concord grape and white grape juice dominate the nose, followed by a subtle floral sweetness. There is a clean, neutral grain backbone underneath the fruit.

Taste: The palate opens with bright, candy-like grape sweetness that stays light rather than cloying. At mid-palate, a soft mineral quality emerges, keeping the flavor balanced. The low ABV means the mouthfeel is thin and refreshing, closer to a wine cooler than a traditional spirit.

Finish: Short and clean, with lingering grape-candy sweetness and a crisp, dry fade. No burn or harshness — the low proof keeps everything smooth and easy.

How to Drink Han Jan Grape

Best served well-chilled straight from the freezer or over ice, which is the traditional Korean approach to flavored spirits in this ABV range. Its light body and fruit-forward profile also make it a versatile mixer. Try it in a Grape Spritz topped with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime for an effervescent warm-weather drink. It works in a Korean Yakult Cocktail, combining with Yakurt probiotic drink for a creamy, tangy-sweet combination popular in Korean drinking culture. A Grape Soju Bomb — dropped into a light Korean lager — delivers a fruity twist on the classic somaek ritual.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Korean drinking culture at a casual gathering
• Stocking a home bar for low-ABV, fruit-forward cocktail experimentation
• Pairing with Korean barbecue or fried chicken nights
• Warm-weather sipping chilled without the intensity of full-proof spirits
