Aviation American Gin
The smooth, citrus-forward pioneer of American dry gin
An incredibly smooth pioneer of the New Western dry style, this spirit shifts the focus from heavy juniper to a bright, balanced blend of regional botanicals. It offers a soft, floral entry with rich citrus peel and a remarkably clean finish.

Co-founded in 2006 by bartender Ryan Magarian and distiller Christian Krogstad, Aviation Gin was born out of a desire to create a highly mixable, botanical-forward spirit. The brand later gained global prominence under the creative direction and co-ownership of actor Ryan Reynolds.
Handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, this pioneer of the American style redefined the traditional London Dry category by softening the aggressive juniper profile. It is distilled in small batches using a proprietary maceration process of seven botanicals.
