Aviation American Gin was first produced in Portland Oregon in 2006. The company was founded by distiller Christian Krogstad and bartender Ryan Magarian. These founders were the first recognized distiller/bartender partnership in the United States. Aviation American produces an American dry gin, which is known for its less juniper-forward flavor profile. Aviation is distributed 16 different countries, including; U.S., Canada, Spain, U.K., Ireland, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, Holland and Australia. They experimented with over 30 different recipes before settling on the recipe that is produced today. The special gin was actually then named after the well-known pre-Prohibition cocktail, The Aviation. The famous cocktail was created in the early 1900s by well-known bartender Hugo Ensslin. This classic cocktail is made with gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, and lemon juice. The distilled gin was originally bottled in a wine bottle with a blue label. The current bottle is shaped like a flask, inspired by the Art Deco period, adorned with a black label and a silver cap. Produced by House Spirits Distillery, the ratio for the recipe remain secret, but there a seven known botanicals used during distillation: juniper, lavender, sweet and bitter orange peel, cardamom, coriander, Indian sarsaparilla, and anise seed. The small batch gin is twice pot distilled and bottled at 42% ABV. The seven different natural botanicals that are used for flavoring are steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours, then redistilled in a custom-built 400 gallon pot still, one batch at a time. The spirit is then brought to proof with deionized Cascade mountain water before bottling. Aviation’s Master Distiller Christian Krogstad credits Aviation's natural ingredients, and low reflux stills, for Aviation's bright flavor. With a smooth juniper base, it has a subtle, clean finish.…

About the brand

Founded in 2006 by Christian Krogstad and Ryan Magarian, Aviation American Gin is a brand of American dry gin manufactured by House Spirits Distillery in Portland Oregon US. Otherwise known as Aviation Gin, the brand is noted for its more botanical flavor profile. Co-founder Ryan Magarian coined the term “New Western Dry Gin” when first describing the brand and Aviation has since redefined how domestic gin is viewed within the US and European markets. This premium-crafted gin combines 7 botanicals, namely; coriander, lavender, cardamom, Indian sarsaparilla, orange peel, and juniper. Steeped in a neutral grain spirit for 18 hours, this botanical maceration is then diluted with water and distilled for 7 hours. Aviation Gin was sold in 2016 to Davos Brands, a New York wine distributor, and is endorsed by actor Ryan Reynolds who purchased a stake from Davos before the brand was finally sold to international liquor distributor Diageo in 2020.
