About Dalho
Dalho is Sazerac’s first soju, launched in the United States in August 2026 as US soju volumes grow at a projected 16% compound annual rate (IWSR). The name combines the Korean words for moon (dal) and tiger (ho), and the tiger on the label is the brand’s mark. The classic 375mL bottle honors soju’s heritage as a spirit traditionally enjoyed alongside meals, while the line also introduced a category-first 50mL shot format.

Tasting Notes
Clean and smooth, with the soft, lightly sweet neutrality of a classic grain soju and a gentle warmth at 17% ABV — stronger than most flavored sojus, which makes Dalho Original the right pick for drinkers who want the traditional style. It is the base the flavored Dalho bottlings are built on; for the fruit-flavored Korean original, try Soon Hari Grape Soju.
How to Enjoy
Serve Dalho Original well chilled in a small glass alongside food — Korean barbecue, fried chicken and spicy dishes are the classic pairings — or use it as a smooth, lower-proof base in cocktails anywhere vodka would go. For a premium American craft take on the category, see Yobo Soju Luxe.
