Three Cuts Founder's Gin

Nose: Lime, lemon, rose (faint), juniper, coriander. Palate: Notably sweet arrival with an emphasis on citrus. Coriander and juniper in the development but this remains a fundamentally sweet profile with a floral touch (I believe rose petals are one of their distillation botanicals). It's sweet enough that you could believe this was an “old Tom” style of gin. Good mouthfeel. Finish: Short. Citrus and mild spices. A quick-hit review based on a pop-up tasting at our local liquor store today. Three Cuts Founders Release gin is made by Turner Stillhouse which is located in the township of Grindlewald near Launceston in Tasmania. This is a very enjoyable workhorse gin, by which I mean I can imagine using it in all manner of cocktails. It would probably be overpowered in a Negroni but it would be perfect for a gentle but flavourful G&T. I noted a lot of citrus in the palate and when I said “native finger lime” the person on the stall looked overjoyed and gave me a second pour. Ha. It’s a nicely balanced gin with a slant to the citric side of things, and it’s worth a try. “Good” : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
