Three Cuts Distiller's Release

Nose: Coriander, juniper, cumin, lemon. Palate: A very seed-spice focused arrival (coriander, cumin, fenugreek, caraway) and this character continued through the palate. There is some citrus and a floral hint to the profile, but overall it was a bold, baking-spice forward type of profile. It had a creaminess to the texture but less so than the distillery’s Founder’s Release gin. Finish: Medium. Seed spices and citrus. A quick-hit review based on a pop-up tasting at our local liquor store today. Three Cuts Distiller's Release gin is made by Turner Stillhouse which is located in the township of Grindlewald (what a cool name!) near Launceston, Tasmania. I enjoyed this gin but I thought it was not as versatile as Three Cuts' Founder’s Gin (which has a less exuberant palate). However for a Negroni or any similarly full-bodied cocktail its greater length and more intense profile would certainly make it the better choice. I’m rating it the same as the Founder’s Choice. Both are good but each is best suited to a different task. “Good” : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
