The ultimate modern American gin for balanced cocktail mixing

An incredibly smooth, soft, and balanced spirit that shifts the focus away from intense juniper toward bright citrus and floral notes. Handcrafted with a unique blend of seven botanicals, it offers an approachable entry point for both gin enthusiasts and newcomers.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 2006 by bartender Ryan Magarian and distiller Christian Krogstad in Portland, Oregon, Aviation Gin was created to be a highly mixable spirit for classic cocktails. Actor Ryan Reynolds acquired an ownership stake in the brand in 2018, bringing its distinctive style and playful marketing to global prominence before its acquisition by Diageo.

How it is made

Aviation American Gin is distilled at the House Spirits Distillery in Portland, Oregon using a proprietary maceration process. Unlike traditional London Dry styles, this modern American gin highlights a distinct botanical blend that includes sarsaparilla, lavender, and sweet orange peel.
