Dalho Lychee Soju
Dalho Lychee Soju is the lychee-flavored bottling of Dalho, the Korean-style soju launched by Sazerac in August 2026 — the company’s first entry into the soju category. Distilled from grain with natural flavors and bottled at 17% ABV (34 proof) in a 375mL bottle, Dalho Lychee brings the line’s most aromatic profile — sweet, floral lychee — over its clean grain base: grain neutral spirits and spirits distilled from grain with natural flavors, just as the label reads. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

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
Lychee is the most aromatic flavor in the Dalho line — sweet, floral and tropical, with the juicy perfume of fresh lychee fruit over the smooth grain base. The finish is soft and clean, never cloying, with a gentle warmth at 17% ABV. It is built on the same grain base as Dalho Original Soju, the line’s unflavored reference point. Collect the flavored set with Dalho Peach Soju and Dalho Strawberry Soju.
How to Enjoy
Serve Dalho Lychee well chilled in a small glass alongside food — Thai and Vietnamese dishes, seafood, spicy food and fruit-based desserts are natural partners — or use it as a smooth, lower-proof base in cocktails anywhere vodka would go. Serve it ice-cold with a splash of soda water, or drop a canned lychee into the glass as a garnish. For a premium American craft take on the category, see Yobo Soju Luxe.
