Shin Dong-yup's 'Black Circle Max Whisky,' launched at Seven Eleven, is gaining significant popularity, especially for its package that includes an exclusive glass. Known for comedian Shin Dong-yup's direct involvement in its development, this whisky has become a hot topic among liquor enthusiasts due to the special glass offered with it.

The Black Circle Max is an upgraded version of the original Black Circle whisky, featuring a higher malt content for a richer flavor. It comes in a 700ml bottle with 40% alcohol by volume, priced at 23,900 KRW. Early bird promotions and credit card discounts made it even more affordable upon release. The exclusive glass is designed as an all-in-one type, suitable for neat, on the rocks, or highball servings, and features Shin Dong-yup's illustration, adding to its collectible value.

Bloggers describe Black Circle Max as having a harmonious blend of subtle vanilla and caramel notes with a bitter oak finish, making it suitable for whisky beginners. Its minimal peat flavor is recommended for those who prefer a smooth drinking experience. Many reviews highlight the excellent value for money, especially with the exclusive glass included in the 20,000 KRW price range. It is also noted as a good option for making highballs.
