PRODUCT TYPE: Classic Gin
Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin exhibits a crisp, floral taste profile that harkens back to the classic American gin. Awakening your olfactory senses with its refreshingly bright taste and pleasing bouquet, the gin lives up to the name Restorative. This gin is great on its own – as Uncle Valerio would’ve undoubtedly preferred – but it’s also well suited to cocktails, adding a complex yet sublime blend of flavours to your recipe.
Creating an intriguing first impression, the nose offers crisp juniper berry, soft Gourdy cucumber and the slightest hint of rose petal. The following sip feels crisp upfront and silky going down with refreshing notes of citrus, coriander and juniper that pleasantly evolve to a finish of cucumber, along with a wisp of rose petals.
Tasting Notes
-
NOSE: Crisp juniper berry, soft Gourdy cucumber and the slightest hint of rose petal comprise the nose, making for a soothing and intriguing first impression.
-
MOUTHFEEL: Crisp upfront and silky going down.
-
SIP: 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.
Martini Pairing Suggestions
To subdue the floral notes and accentuate the savoury coriander and juniper, you can add 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.

About Uncle Val's
Uncle Val’s is an American brand of gin manufactured in Northern California. It offers small-batch gins inspired by creator Zio Valerio’s love of gardening and native Tuscan cuisine. Botanicals are Uncle Val’s favourite cooking ingredient and also make exceptionally unique, smoothly delicious gin. Each bottle is hand-numbered and carefully placed in cases of six 750-ml bottles.
A big reason Uncle Val’s tastes so exquisite is that, unlike dry gins, Val's ingredients are added after distillation. The filtration and purification of the base occurs first, lowering impurities to under 0.0005% for minimum hangover.
