About Jinro
Jinro is the soju brand on which HiteJinro was founded in 1924. In Korea it is now sold as Jinro Is Back, a retro product reviving the look of 1970s Jinro soju that has been reformulated with zero sugar and lower alcohol, and abroad the range includes fruit-flavoured Jinro and the 24 per cent Jinro 24 made for international markets. HiteJinro America says Jinro has been the world's best-selling spirit brand since 2000.
