by Jeff Ellingson

Aviation American Gin takes it’s name from the classic Aviation cocktail.  The cocktail is made with gin, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice.   Aviation gin is probably best known as Ryan Reynolds gin.  The Deadpool star husband of actress Blake Lively acquire the Aviation brand February 2018.  Aviation Gin was created by co-founder Ryan Magarian a Seattle bartender, and Christian Krogstad the owner of House Spirits Distillery, based in Portland Oregon.  After 30 different blends Aviation Gin was ready for release June 2006.  Eight botanicals are used including Juniper, Cardamom, Coriander, French Lavender, Anise seed, Sarsaparilla, and 2 kinds of Orange Peel.  The botanicals are placed in nylon sacks and suspended in a pure neutral grain spirit for 18 hours in a macerating tank.  The spirit is distilled in a 400 gallon stainless steel still.  Only the heart of the run is collected, about 140 gallons.  Once complete the spirit weighs in at 142 proof.  Pure water is blended to reduce to 84 proof.  Now completed the Aviation American Gin goes into a bottling tank with a 6-sprout gravity filler and is pumped into each bottle.  The aroma is juniper, sarsaparilla, floral, anise, and peppermint, with a subtle roasted backing.  The sweet orange and peppermint entry is joined by juniper, root beer, and coriander building to a bright orange menthol peak.  It fades with sweet orange peel, cardamom and dried red pepper.  The finish is warm, peppery, spicy, briny, and dry with sarsaparilla, bitter orange peel, lavender, and anise taste.  There is a spiciness to this gin that gives in more heat than many 90 proof gins.
