Boasting a 42% ABV and wrapped in an Art Deco-inspired bottle, Aviation Gin merges timeless craftsmanship with a modern twist, elevating every drinking occasion.
Aviation Gin is classified as an "American dry gin," which means it is less juniper-forward than traditional London Dry gins. It features a balanced blend of seven botanicals, including juniper, coriander, cardamom, lavender, sweet and bitter orange peel, anise seed, and Indian sarsaparilla, resulting in a smoother and more versatile flavor profile.
Aviation Gin was co-founded by Christian Krogstad and Ryan Magarian in Portland, Oregon, in 2006. In 2018, actor Ryan Reynolds acquired a stake in the brand and became heavily involved in promoting it.
