About Uncle Val's Botanical Gin
A vibrant botanical spirit bursting with bright citrus peel and warm cardamom. The bold 90-proof body offers a bone-dry, crisp texture, culminating in a clean, piney finish that invigorates the senses.
Indulge in the sensory tapestry of Uncle Val's Botanical Gin, an exceptional spirit meticulously crafted by 3 Badge Beverage Corp. This gin is a tribute to Zio Valerio, a passionate gardener in Tuscany, whose love for fresh, aromatic botanicals inspired this unique formulation. Each sip is a journey through a sun-drenched Italian garden, where a masterful symphony of juniper, cucumber, lemon, sage, and lavender is distilled to create a spirit of unparalleled character and clarity. The 90-proof bottling ensures that the vibrant botanical notes are delivered with precision and intensity, resulting in a gin that is both refreshingly complex and remarkably smooth. Uncle Val's represents the pinnacle of modern gin craftsmanship, offering a sophisticated and authentic experience for the discerning palate, perfect for elevating classic cocktails or savoring on its own.
