Uncle Val's Botanical Gin was created in 2012 by August Sebastiani, founder of 3 Badge Mixology, as a tribute to his uncle, Valerio, an avid home cook and gardener whose favorite ingredients inspired the recipe. The gin begins as a neutral grain spirit made from corn, distilled continuously five times using purified aquifer water sourced from the Sonoran Desert, a process the brand credits for the spirit's clarity and purity before botanicals are introduced.

Rather than leaning on the dozen-plus botanicals common in many contemporary gins, Uncle Val's Botanical keeps its recipe deliberately narrow, built around five ingredients: juniper, cucumber, lemon, sage, and lavender. Each was chosen to reflect the kinds of flavors Valerio favored in his own kitchen and garden, and the botanicals are balanced so no single element overwhelms the others. The finished gin is bottled at 45% ABV.

The nose offers an immediate lift of fresh cucumber and bright lemon, with lavender and a touch of sage rounding out the aroma. On the palate, that same cucumber coolness carries through alongside citrus brightness and subtle floral notes, with juniper providing quiet structure rather than the dominant flavor.

"Uncle Val's is a small-batch botanical gin inspired by Zio Valerio's love of gardening and native tuscan cuisine. The botanicals are not only Uncle Val's favorite cooking ingredients, but also happen to make an exceptionally unique and smoothly delicious gin.

IngredientJuniper: the quintessential gin ingredient, juniper adds a dash of that distinctive ?gin? taste to Uncle Val's.

Cucumber: adds a cooling effect to the taste, along with subtle freshness cues.

Lemon: the citrus zing provides balance amongst the botanicals, along with the added benefit of crispness.

Sage: derived from the phrase ?to be saved,? sage has been held in high regard throughout history both for it's culinary and medicinal properties. Helps make you feel more alert, calm and contented, with the effects lasting.

Lavender: historically used for its calming effect, it reduces stress, aids in sleep."
