Description

Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin is a characterful American gin, bottled at 45 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle, which combines classic juniper with a fresh, floral botanical profile. The focus is on juniper, coriander, cucumber and rose petals, whose distinct characteristics are carefully combined. A distinctive feature lies in the production process: the alcoholic base is first carefully filtered and purified before the selected botanicals are added. Juniper forms the classic foundation of the gin, whilst coriander contributes a distinctive spiciness. Cucumber provides a pleasantly fresh note, whilst the Grandiflora rose petals used round off the profile with an elegant floral element.

Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin is made with natural ingredients, is gluten-free and contains no artificial flavours, colourings or additives. Visually, too, Uncle Val’s takes a distinctive approach: The distinctive bottle shape is inspired by historic bitter bottles from the 18th and 19th centuries, whilst the nostalgically designed label, featuring classic typography and an illustration reminiscent of a Roman coin, reflects the brand’s tradition-conscious character. This high-quality presentation is rounded off by the fact that each bottle is individually numbered. In this way, Uncle Val’s combines American gin tradition, an unusual method of processing the botanicals and a distinctive bottle design to create a versatile premium gin.

Tasting NoteColour: Clear.

Nose: Fresh and crisp with juniper, subtle cucumber and a delicate floral hint of rose petals.

Uncle Val’s Restorative Gin is ideal for a gin and tonic or a classic Martini. In a Martini, an olive can bring out the spicy notes of coriander and juniper more strongly, whilst a citrus zest emphasises the floral components. The gin can also be served neat or on the rocks. Culinary pairings include light Mediterranean starters, seafood, cucumber salad or mild goat’s cheese, which complement its fresh and delicately spicy character.
