Once and still the signature drink of the classiest, boldest individuals; gin has enjoyed a sharp resurgence in recent years. Aviation Gin is sophisticated yet simple, celebrating the quality and character of its distinctly unique botanical flavour. As the world’s highest rated gin (97 points, Wine Enthusiast), Aviation American Gin is the spirit of choice for the world’s best Martinis.

For those who aren’t aware, Aviation Gin holds pride of place as America’s original craft gin. Created by pioneering bartender Ryan Magarian and master distiller Christian Krogstad, this gin is now owned by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds. It hails from Portland, Oregon, and is the culmination of the team’s quest for a more versatile and mixable gin.

Aviation American Gin isn’t like other gins you’ve tried

Rather than being overpowered by juniper – the flavour of which many perceive to be harsh or medicinal in many gins – Aviation Gin is a balanced blend of seven botanicals:

Juniper
Cardamom
Lavender
Sarsaparilla
Coriander
Anise seed
Dried orange peel
Whereas many other gins are infused by vapour distillation (passing heated alcoholic vapours through a basket of botanicals) Aviation Gin’s botanicals are infused by maceration, which involves steeping them until the flavours have bonded. It is then redistilled, for the flavoursome finished product that is now the drink of choice for many gin-lovers around the world.

Some interesting facts about Aviation American Gin:

It’s distilled in a traditional copper pot to this day
Comprises the finest botanicals from around the world
