A tribute to the original soju that started it all, Jinro Is Back is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic spirit from the 1970s. This "newtro" (new + retro) sensation captures the hearts of a new generation while evoking nostalgia for those who remember the original. Housed in its signature clear, sky-blue bottle with the original toad mascot, Jinro Is Back is as much a style icon as it is a spirit. With a gentle 16.5% ABV, it offers an exceptionally smooth, clean, and mild flavour profile. The taste is rounder and softer, with a subtle sweetness that makes for an incredibly pleasant drinking experience with a minimal alcoholic burn.
