Aviation is Americas original craft gin. Created by pioneering bartender, Ryan Magarian and master distiller, Christian Krogstad, in Portland Oregon, it is the culmination of their quest for a more versatile and mixable gin.

Instead of being overpowered by juniper the flavor of which many perceive to be harsh or medicinal Aviation is a balanced blend of seven botanicals: juniper, cardamom, lavender, sarsaparilla, coriander, anise seed, and dried orange peel.

Aviations botanicals are infused by maceration steeping them until the flavors have bonded then redistilled. Many other gins are infused by vapor distillation passing heated alcoholic vapors through a basket of botanicals.
