Quick Facts: ABV: 12%  |  Origin: Korea  |  Lychee-Flavored Spirit  |  Brand: Han Jan

Production & Heritage

Han Jan draws on Korea's long history of soju-style spirits — clear, clean, and lower in alcohol than Western vodka or gin. While formally classified as a flavored vodka for the U.S. market, its 12% ABV and flavor profile place it firmly in the soju tradition. The lychee expression uses lychee flavoring to add a tropical dimension to a neutral grain-based spirit, resulting in a drink designed for easy consumption chilled or over ice. The 375ml bottle size makes it a convenient single-session format.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh lychee fruit leads immediately, followed by subtle floral notes reminiscent of rose water and a faint hint of ripe pear. The nose is delicate and inviting without any harsh alcohol burn.

Taste: The palate opens with sweet, juicy lychee that reads authentic and tropical rather than artificial. At mid-palate, a soft honeydew melon quality emerges alongside light citrus acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. The low proof gives it a smooth, almost juice-like texture.

Finish: Short and clean, fading quickly with lingering lychee sweetness and a whisper of white grape. There is no bitterness or alcohol heat on the close.

How to Drink Han Jan Lychee

Serve well-chilled in a small glass for a traditional Korean-style pour, or over ice to stretch the experience. The low ABV and fruit-forward character make it extremely versatile in cocktails. Try it in a Lychee Martini, where it contributes fruit intensity without requiring a separate liqueur. It works well in a Korean Highball topped with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing long drink. For a tropical twist, mix it into a Lychee Spritz with prosecco and a splash of soda water.

Best For

• Introducing friends to Korean-style spirits at a dinner gathering
• Adding a fruity, low-proof option to a home cocktail spread
• Light warm-weather sipping on a patio or rooftop
