Won Mae Plum Liqueur
About Won Mae Plum Liqueur
A maesil liqueur, made from Korean plums harvested at the peak of the ripeness for superior aromatics. Typically maesil is thought as tart and bitter green plum. However when maesil ripens it turns golden colored, the floral and tropical fruit aromatics intensify, and it and builds natural sweetness while retaining bright acidity. Such intensely ripe plums are so delicate and fragile that is is impossible to make them widely available commercially. However, since these maesil come from the family orchard, they are able to be harvested at the optimal moment for best flavor and aroma.
