List of products by brand Hwayo

The Hwayo distillery is thus named in reference to its philosophy, "Hwa" for the fire and "Yo" for the noble object, it indeed wishes to develop a noble product from the resources given by nature.

It is the KwangJuyo group, specialist in ceramic crafts, who decided in 2005 to launch under the name Hwayo its range of soju, a very popular alcohol in South Korea.

The group decided a year later to launch a new concept in the world of whisky, to create a whisky made from rice.

The production of its whisky is inspired by traditional methods of making sonju. Hwayo is keen to use the natural resources of Korea, so the rice used is cultivated in the country, moreover the water is drawn 150m deep in a natural rock of the province of Yeoju.
