The Eagle Edition is a confident, oak-rich Korean single malt whiskey. It brings together bold wood spice, ripe fruit, and vanilla sweetness in a 43% ABV expression that balances approachability with character. A great show of what Ki One can do outside the limited batches and cask-strength releases.
