Free distiller tool
Enter your own wash volume, ABV, spirit recovery, cask, storage, financing, and packaging assumptions to see recovered alcohol, complete bottles, and scenario cost per bottle after maturation losses. The maths runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The calculator is free to use; saving a scenario to reopen later needs a subscription.
Model a wash-to-cask-to-bottle pathway from your own assumptions. Outputs are planning arithmetic, not production forecasts, accounting, tax, safety, labeling, or legal advice.
The starting values are an illustrative example, not current Korean averages, producer data, or supplier quotes.
Values stay in this browser tab. They are not submitted, saved, exported, or sent to analytics.
Volume loss compounds annually. Strength is held constant in this first model and does not claim to reproduce a particular cask or warehouse.
| Year | Cask volume | Pure alcohol | Cumulative storage | Cumulative financing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 88.19 L | 56 LPA | ₩0 | ₩0 |
| 1 | 85.54 L | 54.32 LPA | ₩300,000 | ₩310,000 |
| 2 | 82.98 L | 52.69 LPA | ₩600,000 | ₩635,500 |
| 3 | 80.49 L | 51.11 LPA | ₩900,000 | ₩977,275 |
Each row changes one assumption and holds every other input constant, then reports the new scenario cost per complete bottle against the base scenario above. FX is not modeled here: every cost in this scenario is already a KRW figure you enter directly, so there is no currency-exposed line to reprice.

Send us these numbers and we'll go through them with you alongside the Beverages desk: maize, wheat, sugar and energy reference prices, and Korean partner-trade data.
Spirits maturation calculator. Inputs: wash 1,000 L at 8% ABV, recovery 70%, fill 63.5% ABV, 3 years, loss 3%/yr, bottling 40% ABV, 700 mL bottles. Results: 182 full bottles, total KRW 8,441,275, KRW 46,381/bottle.
This page is planning arithmetic on the assumptions you type in — it carries no market data of its own. The subscriber desk is where the sourced context lives: Korean spirits import and customs lines, barley, malt, and cask trade flows, a cask-type reference, verified Korean producer records, and industry reporting, each shown with its source, unit, and as-of date.
