Tasting Notes

Nose

Vivid and exceptionally bright — fresh-cut cucumber in cool water, sweet pickle hint, tangerine and Amalfi lemon with a lemon verbena edge, juniper receding into background greenery

Palate

Deceptively smooth with gentle cucumber arriving first — fresh herbal lemon, cooling melissa and neroli mid-palate, floral hints of geranium and orange cream, French lavender quietly present, sage adding earthy depth

Finish

Long and gently piney — juniper finally asserting itself clearly on the finish after playing background all along, cucumber freshness lingering, clean and bright

Expert Review

7/10

Named after Valerio Cecchetti — Zio Valerio — the Italian gardener uncle of founder August Sebastiani. Five botanicals inspired by Uncle Val's kitchen garden in Sonoma: cucumber, lemon, sage, lavender and juniper. A corn-base spirit five times distilled then infused with botanical tea bags. Vivid cucumber and citrus nose, smooth herbal palate, long piney finish. Rated 4.5/5 by The Gin Is In.
