Aviation American Gin

Aviation750ml42% ABV

The ultimate citrus-forward American gin for craft cocktails

An incredibly smooth, soft, and balanced gin that redefines the category with its botanical forwardness. Lavender, cardamom, and sarsaparilla take center stage while juniper plays a supportive, subtle role in the background.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Portland in 2006, Aviation American Gin is famously associated with actor Ryan Reynolds, who acquired an ownership stake in 2018. Reynolds played a pivotal role in catapulting the brand to global fame before its acquisition by Diageo.

How it is made

Aviation Gin was born in Portland, Oregon out of a unique collaboration between bartender Ryan Magarian and House Spirits Distillery. It represents a shift from traditional London Dry style gins by leaning heavily into regional, botanically complex profiles.
