Aviation Gin was founded in 2006 and takes its name from the Aviation cocktail, created in the 1900s. The Dutch style rye, spirit base is combined with juniper, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla, orange peel and cardamom. The botanicals are then steeped in grain spirit for 48 hours before they are redistilled.
Aviation Gin has a floral and earthy spice note with a hint of birch beer and flamed orange peel and is followed with a long and moderately warm finish.
