Mool yut (Korean barley malt syrup)?

I'm looking for traditional 100% barley syrup.

The brands they have at Koreana plaza are mostly corn syrup. Some have no barley at all.

    Try the macrobiotic section in a health food store. 100% barley malt syrup is available as an alternative sweetener. Rainbow or Other Avenues and of course Whole Foods.

      Supposedly the domestic brands don't have the same flavor.

        One could always taste them to find out.

        What's the difference b/w Korean and other 100% barley malt syrups?
