The Story
A collaboration between craft distiller, Portland’s House Spirits, and acclaimed bartender Ryan Magarian- Aviation American Gin has been created specifically with cocktails in mind. A pioneer of the ‘New Western Dry’ style of gin now gaining popularity, Aviation American Gin has a unique recipe, focussing on a ‘Botanical Democracy’ rather than the standard, dictatorial influence of juniper. Therefore, Aviation American Gin is a renegade, regional style of gin- completely different from all other gins on the market. Full bodied, with a weighty mouth feel and rich flavour profile, Aviation American Gin makes the perfect base for cocktails, including the Aviation cocktail first created in the early 1900’s- the cocktail after which we named our gin.
