Aviation is America’s original craft gin. Created by pioneering bartender, Ryan Magarian and master distiller, Christian Krogstad, in Portland Oregon, it is the culmination of their quest for a more versatile and mixable gin.
Instead of being overpowered by juniper – the flavor of which many perceive to be “harsh” or “medicinal” – Aviation is a balanced blend of seven botanicals: juniper, cardamom, lavender, sarsaparilla, coriander, anise seed, and dried orange peel.
Aviation’s botanicals are infused by maceration – steeping them until the flavors have bonded – then redistilled. Many other gins are infused by vapor distillation– passing heated alcoholic vapors through a basket of botanicals.
Summertime is for G&T, and Aviation American Gin has the legs to stand up to tonic with double lime, as my late Father-in-Law taught me. He was a lifelong native of New Orleans, where people take their drinking seriously. He also introduced me to Aviation American Gin. Despite the flavorings of the quinine and lime, the robust botanicals of Aviation American Gin come through. Five stars no matter how you drink it.
