Aviation Gin
Please note: bottles may have original black label, or the special edition Wrexham AFC label (the Welsh football club that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney own!)
Aviation gin is a brand of gin brought to fame by Ryan Reynolds. it is distilled in small batches in Portland, Oregon.
Aviation Gin was founded in 2006 and takes its name from the Aviation cocktail, which was created in the 1900s. The gin takes a Dutch-style rye spirit base combined with juniper, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, orange peel and cardamom. The botanicals are steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours before they are redistilled.
Aviation is one of the most popular gins on the market, and it has won numerous awards, including a gold medal at the San Francisco world spirits competition.
Aviation Gin is an intriguing tipple, with a very handsome Gatsby-esque bottle. A fabulous gin to go with its eponymous cocktail, though we wouldn't suggest you wing it. (Geddit?)
Aviation gin was founded by Ryan Reynolds and his business partner, Michael Howard. The two had been friends for years, and they shared a passion for aviation (the cocktail and the activity) and gin. they decided to combine their interests and create a gin that would be perfect for aviation enthusiasts. Aviator Gin, if you like.
Crisp notes of juniper alongside delicate floral sweetness, parma violets, a touch of citrus peel and some green vegetal notes in there too, with a pinch of spice.
Wonderfully spicy notes, more prominent than on the nose, cardamom shining through and a scattering of cinnamon, with floral notes continuing.
Spices linger, along with the return of citrus peel.

This is one of the worst gins I have ever tasted. Tried it with a variety of tonics/garnishes but nothing worked. I can’t describe the taste other than it is unpalatable no matter what. The only gin I have ever had to tip down the sink.
I thought it would be a scam after hearing Ryan Reynolds owned the joint. Was shocked to like it so much. One of the best Gins
A strange gin, juniper masked by the taste of liquorice. Quite harsh and difficult to enjoy. If you are after a juniper forward gin or a smooth gin this isn't for you.
This is the very best gin on the market. So smooth and less juniper forward than other dry gins. Customer for life.
Great with tonic but even better when consumed neat as it should be
