江西麻姑酒 Gangseomagoju (강서마고주)
Gangseo Magoju is a wine brewed with spring water from Mount Mago in Jiangxi, China. The grain section of Dongui Bogam gathers many wines by name, and of this one it says the spring gave it its name and that the taste is exceptional. The water, not the grain, made the name.
