Flying High

Aviation American Gin named after the pre-prohibition cocktail created by well-known bartender Hugo Ensslin in the early 1900s.

Renowned as the brand that catalysed the global craft spirit revolution and invigorated the gin category, Aviation American Gin is handcrafted in small 100case batches at the House Spirits Distillery in Portland, Oregon, USA and part-owned by popular Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.

Back in 2006, American bartender Ryan Magarian got together with pioneer distiller Christian Krogstad to produce a more democratic gin that is smooth enough to enjoy neat but which works as a perfectly-balanced base for cocktails. And so a new era began.
