Uncle Val's Botanical Gin (California) 750ML
Producer Notes: A smooth and delicious “American Style” gin. Inviting from the start with a nose that exquisitely balances bright citrus notes, cucumber and lavender. Each sip is delicate and leads with citrus including lemon, orange and key lime. The finish is soft and easy with a hint of spice, but is mostly floral and citrus making it one of the finest of craft gins. juniper.
Tasting Panel, 96 Points: Tangerine, lemon blossoms, and blue flowers sing the praises of gin in this wonderful product from 3 Badge Beverage. Named for August Sebastiani’s uncle, the botanicals chosen are the same that Uncle Val used in his cooking: lemon, juniper, cucumber, sage, and lavender. We also picked up a lovely weight and a syrup of white peppered marshmallow that made this all the more appealing.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points: Sweet-tasting and citrusy, this has a light herbal aroma. It shows distinct cucumber and lavender notes on the palate, and it should lend itself to spring and summer cocktails. Keep an eye out for exciting savory and spicy variations of Uncle Val's that may be coming to market soon.MEMBER DISCOUNT APPLIED AT CHECKOUT
