Bringing 3 Badge Beverage in North Carolina to the Next Level
We have some incredible news to share with the local craft spirits community. We are beyond excited to announce that we are now officially representing 3 Badge Beverage in North Carolina! As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing world-class, terroir-driven spirits to our market, adding the 3 Badge Mixology portfolio was an absolute no-brainer. This family-owned négociant out of Sonoma, California, shares our passion for authenticity, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Spotlight on the Stars: Uncle Val's Gin & Kirk & Sweeney Rum
While the entire 3 Badge lineup is remarkable, we are particularly thrilled to champion two flagship brands that are already making serious waves in the industry.
Uncle Val’s Gin
If you haven't experienced Uncle Val's yet, your cocktail game is about to change.
- Botanical Brilliance: Crafted with a nod to traditional Italian gardening and cooking, Uncle Val's offers unique expressions that are both modern and deeply rooted in heritage.
- Versatile Mixing: Whether you're stirring a classic Negroni, building a refreshing Gin & Tonic, or designing a complex signature cocktail, its smooth, vibrant profile stands out beautifully.
Kirk & Sweeney Rum
For the rum aficionados, Kirk & Sweeney is a revelation. Named after an infamous Prohibition-era smuggling schooner, this brand delivers on both story and substance.
- Dominican Excellence: Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, these ultra-premium rums are aged to perfection, offering deep notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and dried fruits.
- Sipping and Stirring: It’s a rum that shines just as brightly when sipped neat from a snifter as it does when anchoring an elevated tropical cocktail.
Our Vision for Growing the Brand Across NC
Securing these exceptional spirits is just step one. Our primary focus right now is strategic, sustainable growth across the state. We know that North Carolina's beverage scene is dynamic, and we are ready to put these bottles in the right hands.
- Targeted Distribution: We are working closely with top-tier restaurants, craft cocktail bars, and premium retailers from Asheville to Wilmington.
- Education and Tastings: Expect to see our team hosting dedicated tasting events and staff trainings. We believe that once bartenders and consumers taste the quality of Uncle Val's and Kirk & Sweeney, the spirits will do the heavy lifting.
- Community Integration: 3 Badge was built on a philosophy of community and perseverance. We plan to echo that ethos by partnering with local NC events and mixology competitions to organically integrate these brands into our local culture.
