These Korean Whiskeys Are Giving Japan And Scotland A Run For Their Money
A line of tasting glasses filled with different types of Whiskies for tasting, with the focus on the ... More second glass, the rest is out of focus
For years, whisky in Korea was something you poured at a karaoke bar to impress your boss—or drank with imported Scotch while making awkward small talk at a business dinner. But in the past few years, the country's relationship with whiskey has shifted from boardroom obligation to genuine obsession.
Today, a new generation of distillers is shaping Korea's whisky future with locally distilled, aged, and blended spirits that stand proudly on their own. It's not just imitation Scotch anymore—these bottles are uniquely Korean, expressive, and in many cases, surprisingly delicious.
Here's what you need to know about Korean whisky's roots, and a few bottles you should seek out if you want to drink like you're ahead of the trend.

Whisky in Korea has long been synonymous with imports—mostly Scotch and, more recently, Japanese whisky. Local conglomerates like HiteJinro and Doosan dabbled in bottling blends under license, but true domestic whisky? Not so much.
That started to change in the 2010s. Changes to Korea's liquor laws made small-scale distilling more feasible, and a few adventurous makers—some with Scotch whisky pedigrees—began laying down barrels. Thus the country's decision to go with that whisky spelling rather than whiskey. Now, Korea is starting to produce some genuinely interesting whiskeys of its own. They may not have decades in the barrel (yet), but they do have something Scotch never will: a Korean passport and a local perspective.
Ki One 'Tiger Edition'
Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province
Three Societies is where Korean whisky officially found its cool older cousin who studied abroad and came back with stories. Founded by Korean-American entrepreneur Bryan Do and helmed by Scottish master distiller Andrew Shand (formerly of The Macallan), this is the country's first true single malt distillery.
The Ki One Tiger Edition—their first release—was bottled at a cask-strength 56.2% ABV and made from 100% Korean barley. It's got warm notes of roasted chestnut, apricot jam, grain biscuits, and a whisper of citrus peel, with a surprisingly structured finish for something so young. Think of it as Korea's whisky debutante ball—and yes, she wore tiger stripes.
The Signature
Busan
Golden Blue is kind of like Korea's Crown Royal: loved, ubiquitous, and smoother than you'd expect. It's technically a blend and clocks in at a modest 36.5% ABV, which means it's legally whiskey in Korea, but it might raise eyebrows elsewhere. That said, this is a bottle built for session sipping.
The Signature offers flavors of light honey, grain toast, and a faint floral tea finish, and it goes down easier than a Zoom call with the camera off. It's especially popular with Korean drinkers who are just starting to explore whisky, or anyone who wants to feel fancy without working too hard for it.

North Gyeongsang Province
Named after Korea's mythical white tiger and Mount Paektu (the spiritual 'roof' of the Korean peninsula), this new distillery is aiming for myth-making right out of the gate. And surprisingly? They might just pull it off.
The Paektu Malt offers delicate notes of Asian pear, almond, oak spice, and jujube, wrapped in a silky texture that suggests careful blending and a lot of taste-testing (for science, of course). With more regional cask experiments on the way, White Tiger could be the one to watch if you like your whisky with a backstory and a bite.
Korean whiskey is still in its early chapters—but it's already telling some compelling stories. While many of these bottles are hard to find outside Korea (for now), that's part of the fun. Next time you're browsing the spirits aisle or stocking your global whiskey shelf, leave a little room for Seoul. You'll be glad you did.

22 Wild Facts About Old Hollywood Celebrities
Shirley Temple was so popular and talented that there was a conspiracy theory she was not a child at all, but an adult with dwarfism. In fact, she was investigated by the Vatican, who sent a priest to confirm she was in fact a child — which they were, apparently, able to do. Many celebrities from the '40s were actually spies during World War II, including Josephine Baker. She lived in Nazi-occupied France and would flirt with Nazi officials and get them tispy until they divulged military secrets, then write the secrets down on invisible ink and stash them in her underwear. MLB Baseball player Moe Berg worked for the predecessor to the CIA (the Office of Strategic Services), and once traveled to Switzerland with orders to assasinate German scientiest Werner Heisenberg if he discovered the Germans might soon be able to develop an atomic bomb. Famous chef Julia Child worked for the same organization before becoming famous, with her most notable job being to create "cakes" that were used as shark repellant. And Cary Grant reportedly spied on people in Hollywood to find Nazi sympathizers, including the German-born Count Kurt von Haugwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow, who had married heiress Barbara Woolworth Hutton. Grant actually ended up marrying the heiress after she separated from her husband. Also during WWII, Audrey Hepburn (as a child) used to perform at secret concerts in the Netherlands to raise money for the Dutch resistance, risking discovery and punishment from Germans. Oh, and BTW, guess who was allegedly a Nazi informant? Coco Chanel. During World War II, Coco Chanel was named as a Nazi informant by friend Vera Bate (who herself confessed to being a German agent). The French government arrested Chanel, who had several ties with Nazi intelligence organization Abwehr and its members. Chanel was eventually released due to a lack of evidence and possible help from friend Winston Churchill. Chanel's Nazi ties remained hidden for decades, though her "fear and hatred for Jews" was allegedly "notorious." Lucille Ball once claimed that she picked up Morse code during WWII through her lead teeth fillings. While driving home (and having previously experienced picking up music through her teeth), she began to hear a "de-de-de-de" sound. "As soon as it started fading, I stopped the car and then started backing up until it was coming in full strength. DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-DE DE-DE-DE-DE! I tell you, I got the hell out of there real quick. The next day I told the MGM Security Office about it, and they called the FBI or something, and sure enough, they found an underground Japanese radio station. It was somebody's gardener, but sure enough, they were spies," Ball recounted. The story sounds completely ridiculous, but it's possible it was true. There is no record of Ball talking to the FBI, or Japanese spies being found in that area at that time, but there is evidence shrapnel in someone's body, at least, can pick up AM radio waves, which suggests lead tooth fillings could work the same way. Cary Grant tried LSD over a hundred times in the 1950s as a form of psychotherapy to deal with his childhood trauma. 'After weeks of treatment came a day when I saw the light,' Grant said. 'When I broke through, I felt an immeasurably beneficial cleansing of so many needless fears and guilts. I lost all the tension that I'd been crippling myself with. First I thought of all those wasted years. Second, I said, 'Oh my God, the humanity. Please come in.'' Eartha Kitt reportedly once had a threesome with James Dean and Paul Newman. She's been quoted as having said, 'Those two beauties transported me to heaven. I never knew that lovemaking could be so beautiful," though this quote is extremely difficult to confirm. In fact, there are quite a lot of scandalous sexual secrets from Old Hollywood that can't be 100% confirmed but are still fun to hear. For instance, there's speculation that Marlon Brando and James Dean had an S&M-based relationship. Ernest Hemingway once inspected F. Scott Fitzgerald's dick in the bathroom because Fitzgerald was worried it was too small after his wife Zelda complained about it. Hemingway assured him he was "perfectly fine,' telling Fitzgerald, "You look at yourself from above and you look foreshortened. Go over to the Louvre and look at the people in the statues and then go home and look at yourself in the mirror in profile." In another example featuring a famous writer, James Joyce wrote some truly scandalous love letters to his wife Nora Barnacle, many of which extolled her farts. 'You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.' Agatha Christie, possibly the most famous writer in the mystery genre, once created her own mystery when she disappeared in 1926 for 11 days — and the reason is still contested. After putting her daughter to bed, Christie (who was aware her husband was having an affair), drove off and her car was later found abandoned, hanging over the edge of a pit. She had left three letters behind, one to her brother-in-law claiming she had gone to a spa, another to her secretary with "scheduling details," and a third to her husband, who never revealed what the letter said. To find her, the police dredged a lake, brought in dogs, enlisted the help of over 10,000 people, and even looked to her novels for clues. She was eventually found at a spa, like she had told her brother-in-law — except according to her husband, she no longer remembered who she was or recognized him. She had checked in under his mistress' name. In the only time Christie ever spoke of it, she admitted to considering driving into the pit her car was found by, and hitting her head — this, accompanied by the trauma of her husband cheating and her mother dying, led to memory loss. Still, people have continued to speculate it was all a publicity stunt. Steve McQueen came very close to being killed by the Manson family along with Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, and Steven Parent. He had been invited to Tate's house that night, and the only reason he didn't go, according to his then-wife Neile Adams, was that he 'ran into a chickie and decided to go off with her instead." According to a biography of McQueen, he had been having an affair with a blonde woman at the time, and even invited her to come to Tate's with him. However, she said "she had a better idea for just the two of them." McQueen, unlike Tate,* was on a list of targets for the Manson family. His death was planned to look like a suicide. Tate and her friends weren't specifically targeted, according to prosecutors — she just happened to live in the house once owned by music producer Terry Melcher, who had rejected proposals to make a record with Manson. Speaking of serial killer Charles Manson — he was friendly with a number of big players in Hollywood, including Dennis Wilson and Mike Love, the co-founders of the Beach Boys. In fact, Manson and his friends actually moved into Wilson's house. Wilson later allegedly told Love that he'd seen Manson murder a Black man (though this is contested), causing Wilson to break off the friendship. Marilyn Monroe's last known words were to actor Peter Lawford, who was a brother-in-law to Robert and John F. Kennedy, as he had married their sister, Pat Kennedy. He stated she ended the call with, "Say goodbye to Pat, say goodbye to Jack, and say goodbye to yourself, because you're a nice guy." The Jack in reference was then-President JFK. This is noteworthy because there were longstanding rumors of an affair between JFK and Monroe, as well as Robert F. Kennedy and Monroe. There are also rumors that Robert F. Kennedy visited her that night, though this was denied by the Kennedys. Her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, who was there all day and night and was the one to find her dead, later claimed Robert had visited and they'd fought. When Murray found Marilyn dead around 3:30 a.m., she was reportedly holding her phone, and then-LA chief of detectives Thad Brown reportedly claimed she was found with a crumpled-up piece of paper with the number for the White House on it. Besides her connections to the Kennedys, there were other suspicious details around Monroe's death. Murray initially called Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, who called the doctor who had prescribed the pills, Dr. Engelberg, before calling the police. The police did not arrive for close to an hour after Murray first saw Monroe's body. Lawford later claimed that he'd heard about her death at 1:30 a.m. The wife of Monroe's press relations manager Arthur Jacobs also later claimed that her husband had received the call that Marilyn was dead at 10:30. Natalie Wood, who starred in a number of films including West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause, and Gypsy, also died under extremely mysterious circumstances. The 43-year-old was with her husband Robert Wagner on his boat on a weekend vacation from filming Brainstorm when she drowned. According to Wagner himself (though he initially denied this), he and Wood argued, and then he went to bed without her. The next morning, her body was found a mile away. Wood had been drinking, and it's possible her death was an accident, but she was found with bruises that could mean she was attacked. Nearby witnesses had heard a woman scream. The captain of the boat, Dennis Davern, allegedly drunkenly confessed to Wood's sister years later that he'd seen Wagner push Wood, who then fell overboard, and that Wagner refused to rescue this is unconfirmed. Wagner has denied he had anything to do with Wood's death. But I mention this one specifically for a wild Hollywood fact that not many people seem to know — Christopher Walken, Wood's Brainstorm costar, had also been on the boat that night. He had reportedly also argued with Wagner, and Wagner was (according to Davern) angry Natalie had invited him. Walken has not said much about the night beyond affirming it was an accident and that he had nothing to do with it. "I don't know what happened. She slipped and fell in the water. I was in bed then. It was a terrible thing." He also said, "The people who are convinced that there was something more to it than what came out in the investigation will never be satisfied with the truth. Because the truth is, there is nothing more to it." One of the wildest Hollywood secrets involves Loretta Young and Clark Gable. For years, there were rumors Young's adopted daughter Judy was actually her biological daughter, conceived with Clake Gable. The rumors wouldn't be proven true until Young admitted to them in her posthumous memoirs. It turned out Young had conducted an elaborate cover-up to make it seem like she had adopted the child. Loretta even reportedly had Judy's ears pinned back in an operation because they so resembled Gable's. Gable never had any role in her daughter Judy's life. Young refused to tell Judy the truth, and according to Judy's memoir, when Judy confronted her about the rumors, Young ran into the house and Young never spoke publicly about the circumstances of Judy's conception, according to her daughter-in-law, Linda Lewis, in the '90s, Young had asked her what date rape meant after hearing the term on Larry King Live. After Lewis explained, Young replied, "That's what happened between me and Clark.' On the train ride back from shooting Call of the Wild on location, Gable had allegedly snuck into Young's compartment. According to Lewis, Young didn't want Judy to know, so Lewis kept quiet until both Young and Judy were dead. Finally, we'll end with a few last examples featuring Errol Flynn, because the man had a wild life and allegedly did some wild things. First of all, he wrote in his autobiography that he once had a job castrating young sheep with his teeth. Second, Flynn once apparently showed up on the doorstep of Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, angry about something she had written about him, and began masturbating. "I began laughing, and continued laughing until he finished with a dramatic flourish all over my doorstep," Hopper reportedly told Paul Newman. "I'll say one thing for Errol. He's the only man I know who can ejaculate in front of a fully dressed woman who's laughing derisively during the entire process." And finally, David Niven claims that Flynn once brought him along to view 'the best-looking girls in L.A.'...which, as it turned out, meant parking by Hollywood High to watch the girls get out of school. He then allegedly told a police officer who questioned why they were there that he was "enjoying the scenery." What shocking old Hollywood facts do you know? Let us know in the comments!

The gel manicures I get have made them even worse. Within two weeks of using this once to twice a day, I could not believe how good my nails were looking. They're not titanium strong, but compared to how thin and brittle they were, they're now much stronger. They don't break. They've also grown a lot. I don't usually have to file or cut my nails because they never grow that long, but today I had to! Will keep buying this forever. Love it." —AnonGet it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six scents).

It peeled off easily in the morning, and I just couldn't believe how well it worked. I've been using one every 5–6 days.

Been using it for over a month, applying it every morning and night, and there is a big difference in my neck. I will never be without it." —Jlacaria"This stuff rocks! I'm a big skeptic of products that claim to make your skin look younger, firmer, erase wrinkles, improve skin tone, etc. The only way all that can be achieved is with surgery, lasers, fillers, and Botox. A skin care product can only do so much with the right ingredients and at the right concentration.I wanted to improve the look of my neck and the horizontal lines. I bought this because Gold Bond has been around forever, and it was a good price point. I've been using it twice a day now for just over a month, morning and night. I cannot believe the results! My horizontal neck lines are drastically improved, and my skin is smoother, softer, and more even-toned! The little lines are gone, and my neck is definitely firmer! I wouldn't have believed I could get such noticeable results from a skin cream! Use twice a day after you wash your face and neck. This is a forever product for me, and I definitely recommend!" —Regina McCarthyGet it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). A Cécred nourishing hair oil that smells absolutely divine and will help seal in moisture without weighing down your locks. It's compiled of 13, yes 13 (!!!) luscious oils to help reinforce your hair's lipid barrier and will have you absolutely feelin' yourself. Reviewers are loving that this lightweight potion actually absorbs into your strands rather than just sitting on top. Oh, nourishing hair oil, ~I love you down to the bone~. Cécred is founded and owned by Beyoncé!I finally got my hands on this bad boy, and oh, baby, it is incredible. I had been trying to figure out how to style my curly clip-in extensions and make them match my real hair, but nothing had been working. I did a braid out three times, and it was a mess, I was literally ready to give up and just straighten my hair again. That is, until I added this. This and the moisture-sealing lotion work ridiculously well together; they're the most magical duo ever for curls. My braid out turned out so perfectly, I'm still in disbelief. Plus, my hair isn't oily!! It absorbed so well. I put it on one side of my hair at a time, and its definition difference was wild. My curls haven't looked this curly in years, and when I add this to my straight extensions, it helps my hair blend so much better. Also, it smells so freakin' good, it's ridiculous. Cécred literally never disappoints. This oil is liquid gold. I'm obsessed. I stand ten toes behind this oil and literally every product I've tried from the line. These are my all-time favorite hair products, no competition. Promising review: "I absolutely adore this hair oil. You get a very generously sized bottle that will last you a long time. The bottle feels heavy and luxurious, and the oil always fixes whatever frizz I've got going on and smells incredible. I'm on my third bottle already, and I will never stop. I will rebuy this until my last days. Worth every penny." —KayGet it from Ulta or Cécred for $22+ (available in two sizes; here's the travel-sized one at Ulta!). A Flamingo razor with four five-blade refills that'll serve you up a *reaaaally* close, comfortable shave. The blades are surrounded by water-activated aloe and shea butter strips to help it effortlessly glide across your skin and protect you from irritation. Plus it comes with a shower holder! Promising reviews: "Ladies, if you're looking for a new razor, stop wasting your time and purchase the Flamingo 5-blade razor right now. I've tried countless other brands of razors — disposable, high-end, you name the Flamingo is by far the very best I've ever used. I'm totally OBSESSED with this razor — the quality of the razor, blades, and mount is superb, and it delivers the closest, smoothest shave ever! Plus, it leaves you feeling moisturized after and never irritated. And, I haven't nicked myself even once with this razor, which is some kind of miracle. You want to try this razor — it just exceeds anything else out there!" —CeCe Silver"I absolutely LOVE this razor. It's perfect for those of us with sensitive skin. This is one of the few disposable razors I've tried that doesn't break me out. I'll forever buy this razor." —Tonya it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors). Tirtir foundation that won't betray you four hours after applying it by becoming all cracked, cakey, and creased. Makeup nightmare. This bad boy lasts up to 72 hours and delivers buildable coverage that'll conceal redness, blemishes, and dreaded dark circles. And if that doesn't already have your finger hovering over the *add to cart button*, it helps boost skin elasticity and will help give you the coveted ~glass skin~ look. An under-eye brightener because you aren't sure if you'll ever actually not be exhausted, but you can def stop looking like it. It's ~enriched~ with shea butter and hyaluronic acid to give your dark circles a more ✨radiant✨ look.

A Summer Fridays lip butter for anyone who can't stand dry lips and needs hydration and moisture instantly. This TikTok beloved balm can also double as an overnight lip mask and it comes in *delightful* scents like birthday cake, brown sugar, and sweet mint. Promising reviews: "This has quickly become my go-to lip product. The balm is incredibly hydrating and leaves my lips feeling soft and smooth. I love the subtle shine it gives without being too glossy. The formula is lightweight, non-sticky, and lasts for hours, which is perfect for all-day wear. Plus, it has a pleasant, natural scent that isn't overpowering. The packaging is sleek and easy to carry around, making it convenient for on-the-go use. Overall, the Summer Fridays Lip Balm is a must-have for anyone looking for a high-quality, moisturizing lip balm. Highly recommend!" —Linda J Boss"I love the colors available and how they feel on my lips. Will forever repurchase." —MEP2014Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in nine scents/colors). An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil perfect for all skin types and will effectively get rid of makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while also helping to prevent your pores from clogging up. In fact, it's so effective, some reviewers say you can actually see the gunk and oil leave your face. You'll be kinda grossed out by the ick seeping out of your pores while also being shook by the way it literally did a magic trick on your face. Blackheads, be gone! Some bioactivo, a deep conditioner treatment that can also be used as a leave-in that'll help strengthen your hair and leave it all soft and ✨shiny✨ *Tomatoa voice*. According to TikTokers, it's a Dominican hair secret for healthy, flourishing hair. We love a beauty secret. Check out how to make it on TikTok!Promising reviews: "I go to the Dominican Salon in my area and every time I leave there, my hair feels luxurious and sooo soft. I can never achieve this at home. My stylist gave me a vial of this product at her shop and said I could only get it from the DR. Well, this is it! I can finally have the same soft, moisturized, luxurious look at home, this has been a godsend! If you have brittle hair or it's hard to keep moisture in it, then this is your holy grail. Just mix half water with conditioner in a spray bottle, then blow dry or roll up and heat. You will not be disappointed. I almost feel bad giving away this secret because when I go to order more, it may be all gone. Amazon, please keep this item in stock. I will be an avid buyer! Thank you!" —Meechie"This product is something I always keep in stock for myself and my friends. The slip is amazing, it is so healthy for hair, and the results are great! If you swim and need help with minimal to no tangles, this is the stuff to use. Friends from all cultural backgrounds agree and convert the second they use it. This is by far one of my best hair care regimes I will always keep." —Constance GeeGet a 12-count from Amazon for $28.89.

I'll forever repurchase!" —KiababyyyGet it from Sephora for $10 (available in 11 scents). A K-18 leave-in hair mask to help bring your dry, bleach- and color-damaged hair back to life. And yes! You leave it in, no rinsing it out! Shampoo, skip conditioning, towel dry, throw this in, wait four minutes, and then just do the rest of your normal styling routine.

Snake River Farms developed its proprietary brand of 100% American wagyu. These high-quality cuts bear this grade and are intensely marbled with intramuscular fat that melts as the beef cooks and provides what Snake River Farms calls a "self-marinating effect." This means that pound for pound, American wagyu will be the butteriest, meatiest and most unbelievably tender and delicious beef you will ever sink your teeth into. Aside from its inspired approach to wagyu, Snake River Farms packs an amazing selection of cuts, from the humble flat iron steak to Kurobuta pork. "It has the richness of Japanese beef with lots of marbling, but the flavor is more akin to what we're used to in America. You can give me a pound of the best Wagyu from Japan, or a pound of this, and I'll choose Snake River Farms every time." — Chef Wolfgang Puck How are Snake River Farms orders packed?
