Aviation Aviation American 1.75L

Aviation American Gin is produced by House Spirits Distillery in Portland, Oregon, built as a deliberate break from the juniper-dominant London Dry template — it leans harder on cardamom, coriander, lavender and a touch of sarsaparilla, giving juniper a supporting role rather than the lead. That balance made it one of the defining American craft gins of the 2000s revival and later brought it wider recognition through actor Ryan Reynolds' ownership stake. Expect a floral, slightly sweet nose, a smooth palate of citrus and light spice, and a clean, gentle finish without the sharp juniper bite of a traditional London Dry.

Its balance makes it a strong Martini gin, and it also shines in the Aviation cocktail its name nods to — gin, maraschino, crème de violette and lemon.
