Brand & Production
Three Sixty's headline claim — filtration through diamond dust — is the kind of marketing proposition that invites scepticism and curiosity in equal measure. Diamond dust filtration is a legitimate, if unconventional, production technique in which the spirit is passed through a bed of finely crushed industrial diamonds, the theory being that the crystalline structure provides an exceptionally fine and chemically inert filtration medium. Whether this produces a perceptibly different result from conventional charcoal or silver filtration is a question that would require rigorous blind tasting to resolve; what can be said with confidence is that the finished spirit is clean, smooth, and free from off-notes — whatever the filtration medium's contribution to that outcome.
The wheat base is distilled four times, a process that achieves a high degree of purity, and the spirit is bottled at thirty-seven and a half per cent — a strength that, while below the forty per cent standard, keeps the price accessible and the profile light.
Tasting Notes
The nose is clean and neutral, with faint wheat sweetness, light citrus, and a cool mineral quality that is pleasant without being distinctive. On the palate, Three Sixty is smooth and clean, with gentle wheat character, subtle sweetness, and a crisp, dry profile that makes it an unobtrusive cocktail ingredient. The body is light, the complexity limited, and the overall impression is of a vodka that has been designed to disappear into its serve rather than assert its own identity.
The finish is short, clean, and dry, with a faint peppery note providing the only departing flavour. This is a workhorse vodka — reliable, consistent, and unchallenging.
Verdict
Three Sixty delivers exactly what its price point and positioning suggest — a clean, smooth, mass-market vodka that performs competently in Moscow Mules, Espresso Martinis, and everything in between. The diamond dust filtration is an interesting talking point, even if its practical contribution to the drinking experience is debatable. Solid value at the price.
