I just opened a bottle (box, actually) of that this past weekend. It was sold in the sake aisle at the big new Asian grocery here (DC and environs). I was expecting sake, so I was a bit shocked at the...

tastes like watered-down vodka with watered down lemon in it. ...which is not necessarily a bad thing. Lemon soju is great with appetizers, when you don't want the drink to overpower the taste of the...

Heh, stav, I was eating dried squid. And dried, spiced file fish. Ah, well, guess I'm not the multi-culti gastronome I thought I was.

Foulest alcohol I ever had was Arak. Thai's and Cambodians love the stuff, though. You can run your car off it, no problem.

I tossed the box after a few sips. Yeah, I think it's probably a drink that is only decent when served from the vats out back, into the traditional wooden bowls, by really really old women. I've never...

Tic-Tac is Guaro. Or Soju Right, in the sense that every country has some sort of foul, cheap hooch. The best part of Tic-Tac though is the label which reads in part, "Superfiltrado y Multirectado" and...

Horrendous, nasty, foul demon piss I'm with stavros on this one - a friend bought a bottle of jinro at the local korean grocery store because it said "most popular spirit in the world" on the label,...

When I was in Korea last May, I had a wonderful wine made from ginseng, pine needles, and chrysthanthemum leaves. I'll take that over nasty soju anyday. Here's an interesting history of distilling in...

tastes like watered-down vodka with watered down lemon in it. No lemon flavour at all in the regular stuff, although I think they do sell it lemon-flavoured as well, 'for ladies.' No self-respecting...
