On a return visit the writer ordered the Glenmorangie Tour at 54,000 won and compared four expressions — Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, Nectar D'Or and Signet — then received perilla oil ice cream and sweet potato chips through the receipt review event. With a welcome sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch) and yakgwa (honey cookie), Hanuk is an easy pick for bringing a friend visiting from abroad. ## Good to know - **Address**: 18 Samil-daero 19-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, basement level 1 - **Location**: 286m from Jonggak Station Exit 4; 1–2 minute walk from Exit 12 - **Hours**: Daily 19:00 – 02:00 (next day) - **Ordered**: Glenmorangie Tour, 54,000 won (4 whiskies) - **Cover charge**: None; welcome drink and snack for every guest - **Amenities**: Groups welcome, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, reservations available - **Price reference**: ₩54,000 ≈ $39 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ## Where Hanuk is and what the basement bar feels like Hanuk is a bar in a basement space at 18 Samil-daero 19-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, serving Korean-style traditional liquor and whisky together. It's a 1–2 minute walk from Jongak Station Exit 12, so it's really easy to find. ![Entrance and interior view of Hanuk, a basement bar near Jongak Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-01-dp4x4-900.webp) ![Hanuk's interior reworking hanok structure in a modern style](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-02-rcwh9-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of Hanuk's low-lit interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-03-hqzxq-900.webp) From the moment you step down from the ground floor, the calm low lighting and the interior that reworks hanok (traditional Korean house) structure in a modern, upscale way grab your attention right away! The seating is spacious and settled, making it a great spot for a Jongno date course or for enjoying a relaxed solo drink. ![Hanuk's spacious seating arrangement](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-04-l9r9x-900.webp) The mix of quiet Korean charm and modern sensibility means a lot of foreign tourists come here too, and I thought there's no better place to bring a foreign friend and introduce them to great Korean bar culture. ![A Hanuk bar table with Korean sensibility](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-05-14b1v-900.webp) With no cover charge, every guest gets a welcome drink and snack as standard, which made the whole experience feel that much better. ![Hanuk's welcome drink and snack setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-06-1xu2z-900.webp) > A Korean-style bar I fell for last time because of the signature cocktail — and came back to. Full of Korean charm, a great cocktail bar to bring a foreign friend to: the Glenmorangie Tour. ## The welcome sujeonggwa and yakgwa served first ![Sujeonggwa and yakgwa served as a pre-drink starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-07-7vdrk-900.webp) Once you're seated at Hanuk, the first thing they bring out is a fragrant sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch) and a sweet, chewy yakgwa (honey cookie) as a pre-drink starter. It looked gorgeous, and the thoughtful touch really showed off the Korean-based bar concept — a lovely surprise right from the start! ## What we ordered: the Glenmorangie Tour, 54,000 won ![Table setting for Hanuk's Glenmorangie Tour course](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-08-k0l5j-900.webp) Glenmorangie Tour, ₩54,000. Today I ordered the Glenmorangie Tour, which lets you carefully compare and taste four of Glenmorangie's signature whiskies, each finished with a different wine cask technique. ![Table with whisky glasses for the Glenmorangie Tour](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-09-28mbe-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of Glenmorangie whisky bottles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-10-gk3i4-900.webp) ### Perilla oil ice cream from Hanuk's receipt review event ![Perilla oil ice cream received from the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-11-w2lzo-900.webp) ![Perilla oil ice cream and sweet potato chips dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar/hanuk-jonggak-glenmorangie-tour-whisky-bar-12-zfvw5-1200.webp) If you take part in the review event, they give you this perilla oil ice cream too — pair it with the sweet potato chips that come alongside and it's so good, definitely check it out!!
