Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin exhibits a crisp taste profile that harkens back to the classic American gin. A big part of the reason for the exquisite taste of Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin is that unlike dry gins, the ingredients are added after distillation, making this an American wet or a compound gin. The filtration and purification of the base occurs first, bringing the impurities to less than 0.0005% for minimum hangover. Then the botanicals are added, allowing the flavor profile to evolve with a high degree of control. It is distilled 5x and infused with the botanicals below. It is gluten-free and made with all-natural ingredients. There are no artificial flavors, colors or additives.

  • Juniper: The classic gin ingredient, juniper provides a distinctly crisp aroma and delicate bite.
  • Coriander: The coriander lends a delicious and assertive taste, which contrasts nicely with the cucumber and rose.
  • Cucumber: By adding a cooling effect to the taste, along with subtle freshness cues, the cucumber works with the rose to balance the flavors.
  • Rose Petals: The large petals of the grandiflora roses provide a soothing aroma and calming taste.

Tasting Notes: Crisp juniper berry, soft cucumber and the slightest hint of rose petal comprise the nose, making for a soothing and intriguing first impression. The gin is crisp up front and silky going down. Refreshing notes of citrus, coriander and juniper pass over the tongue to the soft palate, where the taste pleasantly evolves to a finish of cucumber with a wisp of rose petals.

Cocktails: To subdue the floral notes and accentuate the savory coriander and juniper, we suggest adding a sodium ingredient like an olive. To enhance the floral notes, add a citrus twist. Additionally, lowering the temperature lessens the floral notes while emphasizing coriander.
