Unlike many great Finnish inventions, the idea for 3E Gin wasn't born in a Sauna – or at least we won't admit it. Instead, the idea of this masterpiece matured in the corridors of a Finnish Engineering office for over three years.
Juho's interest in distilling was sparked by the stories of his grandfather and a relative who worked as a surveyor. In the stories they met local farmhouse masters distilling alcohol under the shelter of fir trees. Their self-made pans and the distillate flavored with herbs picked up from the nearby forest made the young Engineer curious – he had to try it himself!
Instead of Moonshine, Juho wanted to distill a much more refined product, Gin. After numerous distillations and herbal concoctions, he invited Three Engineers into a windowless conference room to taste his first creation, a pre-release version of 3E Gin.
That specific tasting was the beginning of 3E Gin's multi-year R&D process, during which we tasted dozens of different gins. We gained a solid understanding of the combination of flavors that we wanted to taste in our own gin. The final result in Autumn 2022 was an earthy, gently herbal and velvety soft 3E Gin.
Three Engineers Oy had to be created.
