Description Founded in 2006, Aviation gin takes its name from the Aviation cocktail, which was created in the 1900s. The gin takes a Dutch style rye spirit base combined with with juniper, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, orange peel and cardamom, and the botanicals are steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours before they are redistilled. A pretty intriguing tipple, with a very handsome Gatsby-esque bottle. “I’ve tried every gin on the planet and Aviation is, hands down, the best.Also, I don’t recommend trying every gin on the planet. Stick with this one.” – Ryan Reynolds, Co-Owner, Aviation American Gin Country: USA ABV: 42 % Nose: Crisp notes of juniper alongside delicate floral sweetness, parma violets, a touch of citrus peel and some green vegetal notes in there too, with a pinch of spice. Palate: Wonderfully spicy notes, more prominent than on the nose, cardamom shining through and a scattering of cinnamon, with floral notes continuing. Finish: Spices linger, along with the return of citrus peel.
