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.
