Hadong, on the slopes of Jirisan, is where tea has grown in Korea the longest — wild fields tucked into the mountain, tended much as they were a thousand years ago.

This bottle is built on jukro (죽로) — “bamboo dew” tea, shaded under bamboo groves so the leaf steeps out deep, sweet, and quietly savory. It is one of Korea’s rarest leaves, and it deserves a spirit.

Founders fund the first batch and get in before anyone else: early bottles, a permanent place among the people who made it happen, and perks that scale the more you back.

Jirisan

Jukro Bamboo-Dew Gin

$174.99

Korea’s oldest tea mountain — built on jukro, the rare bamboo-dew tea of Hadong. In development; back it as a Founder.

Concept art — the label is still evolving. Perfecting a gin’s recipe takes time, too: about a year to eighteen months of distilling, tasting, and adjusting before it’s right. Backing now funds that work.

Our commitment

Backing funds real work. Here is what every founder is buying into — each promise kept on the way to a bottle worth the wait.

A gin built around Jukro Bamboo-Dew

We design a unique flavour profile from Jukro Bamboo-Dew — roughly six months to a year of distilling, tasting, and adjusting until the leaf sits right in the glass.

A painting from the mountain

We commission a local artist to paint the tea mountain behind the bottle. It becomes the label — and a signed print is yours to keep.

A box worth keeping

We design a bespoke box for the bottle — made to be opened once and kept, not thrown away.
