Aviation Gin (70cl , 40%)
Founded in 2006, Aviation Gin takes its name from the Aviation cocktail, which was created in the 1900s. The gin takes a Dutch style rye spirit base combined with with juniper, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, orange peel and cardamom, and the botanicals are steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours before they are redistilled. A pretty intriguing tipple, with a very handsome Gatsby-esque bottle. A fabulous gin to go its eponymous cocktail, though we wouldn’t suggest you wing it. (Geddit?)
Aviation Gin’s tasting notes include a complex aroma with notes of juniper, citrus, and floral hints like lavender, balanced on the palate with a smooth texture and spicy flavors from cardamom and a hint of sarsaparilla. The finish is clean and refreshing, often described as having subtle spice and a lasting impression of its botanicals.
