Daldal Mannochmore 13 Year Old – Art Series “Hwang Jini”

“Under the moonlight of Joseon, no name shone brighter than Hwang Jini.”

Poet, musician, artist, and icon of freedom, Hwang Jini remains one of the most celebrated cultural figures in Korean history. Renowned for her wit, elegance, and independent spirit, she captivated scholars and artists alike through poetry, music, and an uncompromising devotion to beauty and self-expression.

Inspired by her enduring legacy, the Daldal Mannochmore 13 Year Old – Hwang Jini Edition captures a similar sense of grace, depth, and allure. Matured in a Port Wine Cask, this whisky reveals a luxurious crimson-toned character, rich with layered fruit sweetness and refined complexity. Each sip unfolds like a poem—elegant, expressive, and lingering long after the final note.

Part of the Daldal Whisky × Mooni Artist Collaboration – Paldo Edition, this release celebrates Korean cultural identity through whisky and visual art. Drawing inspiration from the traditions, stories, and legendary figures of Korea, the series transforms each bottle into both a collectible artwork and a unique whisky experience.

At its heart lies spirit from Mannochmore Distillery, a respected yet often overlooked Speyside distillery located beside Glenlossie. Often referred to as a “hidden gem,” Mannochmore is prized among independent bottlers for its clean, balanced spirit and remarkable ability to showcase cask influence without losing its elegant character.

The Port cask maturation adds rich berry fruits, dark sweetness, and velvety texture to Mannochmore’s naturally refined profile. The result is a whisky that feels both delicate and profound—moonlit in its elegance, yet deeply expressive in flavor.

Like Hwang Jini herself, this is a whisky of beauty, intelligence, and lasting impression—an expression that invites you to linger, reflect, and be captivated by its story.
