Aviation American Gin is a modern style gin that helped redefine the category with a smoother, more balanced botanical profile. Distilled in small batches in Portland, Oregon, Aviation Gin uses a carefully crafted blend of botanicals including juniper, lavender, cardamom, sarsaparilla, coriander, anise seed, and orange peel.
Unlike traditional London Dry gins where juniper dominates, Aviation takes a more balanced approach, allowing the citrus and floral notes to shine while maintaining the classic gin backbone. The result is a clean, versatile gin that works beautifully in cocktails while remaining smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
Aviation gained global recognition for its refined flavor profile and has become a favorite among bartenders and gin enthusiasts for cocktails such as the Aviation, Gin & Tonic, and Negroni.
