Inspired by Uncle Val’s undeniable zest for life, Zested is distilled 5x and infused with the botanicals below. Uncle Val's Zested Gin is gluten-free and made with all-natural ingredients. There are no artificial flavors, colors or additives. It is an American wet or a compound gin, meaning the botanicals are added post-distillation, after meticulous removal of other hangover-causing fusel alcohols.

  • Juniper: The quintessential gin ingredient, juniper adds a dash of that distinctive “gin” taste to Uncle Val’s.
  • Bergamot Orange: A citrus fruit native to southern Italy and known for its soothing use as an aromatherapy treatment, this fruit adds a bright component to the flavor profile along with providing balance among the botanicals.
  • Coriander: Lends a delicious and assertive taste, eliciting green herbaceous notes which blends nicely with bergamot orange and barley malt.
  • Barley Malt: Imparts a toasted earthiness that purposefully offsets the acidity found in the orange from the bergamot and the zesty sharpness of the coriander and piney juniper.

Tasting Notes: The nose has perfumed aromas of fresh citrus and crushed coriander with underlying notes of bergamot tea, mandarin peel and clove. The mouthfeel is bright and crisp, leading to a spicy, lingering finish. Revitalizing flavors of ripe Crenshaw melon, crisp cucumber and tangy Kaffir lime are lifted with hints of white pepper, allspice and a lingering finish. With a delicate presence of juniper, Zested proves to be a sophisticated spirit with class and style.

Cocktails: Zested is the ideal base spirit to add a refreshing touch of natural orange citrus to classic cocktails such as a negroni, mimosa or breakfast martini . With a variety of aromas and flavors, this spirit can also be enjoyed neat or with a splash of natural soda.
