The Chemistry Lab · Under development

Better spirits come from
better understanding.

We could tell you our products are different. We'd rather you discover why. The lab will be a set of experiments you run at home — each one changes a single variable and asks you to observe the result. We're vetting every experiment in our own lab first.

The vocabulary you'll build, one experiment at a time.

Every guided experiment will follow the same format — the way a real lab notebook does.

What the lab will develop into

Household items. One bottle.
One variable at a time.

01 · In development

Guided experiments

At-home experiments with household items and a bottle of Valence. Change one variable — temperature, dilution, aroma, glassware, time — and observe.

02 · In development

Laboratory notebook

Our own working record: hypotheses, setups, observations, and honest conclusions — including the ones that don't go our way.

03 · In development

A flavor vocabulary

Twelve tasting axes you build one experiment at a time, so "smooth" turns into something you can actually describe.

04 · In development

Your own lab record

Track what you've run, log tasting notes, and build a flavor profile over time.

Nothing here is live yet. We publish experiments only after they've been run, repeated, and vetted on our side of the glass.

Be first in the lab

We'll tell you when the first experiment is ready.

One email when the lab opens, and the occasional note when a new batch or result is worth your time. No noise.
