Learning The Cuts

[1 2many]

It seems that there are quite a few different ways of going about doing the cuts , i suppose i just need to find the most suitable way for my own preference the first thing is i will take some notes this time , and try and pick one or two of the methods previously mentioned to start with .

All very helpful info guys very much appreciated . :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Usually when cutting I mix samples from the different jars 50/50 with water in shot glasses. One in front of each jar, Ive read a few times around the traps that even more water helps. Today I tried 2 parts water 1 part spirit when cutting a rum run. Dunno but it seemed to make the job a whole lot easier,both in tasting and smelling.

Ive found that if after airing I tip the cut jar Im judging into a separate jar, the smell left in the empty cut jar is a far better indication than just smelling the full cut jar. Once judged it goes in blending pot or fients jar

:handgestures-thumbupleft: I like the sound of this approach, I'm going to give it a go!

I find this easier for my senses as well.
