"For centuries in Gyeongju, the ancient kingdom of Silla, the noble class and Hwarang warriors indulged in a palace liquor known as Beopju. Renowned as the ""law liquor,"" Beopju was meticulously brewed and consumed following strict methods and traditions.
The Gyochon Brewery continues the brewing lineage by its predecessor, preserving the tradition of crafting the renowned ""Gayangju"" liquor that was cherished by nobles and Hwarang warriors during the Silla era. Situated at the base of Banwol Mountain in Sari, they cultivate their own rice using environmentally friendly farming practices to ensure the highest quality ingredients. With meticulous brewing techniques, they uphold consistent quality standards throughout the process.
Their flagship liquor, Daemongjae 1779, undergoes a 100-day low-temperature aging process, adhering to rigorous guidelines. Produced in limited quantities of 300 bottles per month, it represents the epitome of their craftsmanship.
