Ranked No.2 in Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 and No.16 in the World, ZEST in Seoul is a global pioneer in sustainable mixology. The "Harvest Hour" is a brilliant celebration of Korean terroir. Built on a rich base of local Jeju Millet Soju, it masterfully blends the earthy sweetness of corn silk and the vegetal crispness of yellow bell pepper. Second flush citrus adds a bright, refined acidity, while saffron, black sesame, and barley sprouts weave together profound earthy depths and robust roasted nutty undertones, capturing the absolute essence of autumn in a glass.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh citrus notes intertwined with the delicate spice of saffron and the sweet, grainy scent of corn silk.
Palate: A round and smooth mouthfeel driven by the millet soju. The crisp vegetal notes of yellow bell pepper are perfectly balanced by the late-harvest citrus acidity, leading to a rich, nutty mid-palate from the black sesame.
Finish: Lingering and elegant, featuring toasted barley sprout notes and a comforting earthy warmth.
Overall: A masterpiece that distills the Korean harvest into a single, sustainable, and highly complex cocktail. An unforgettable drinking experience.
