Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Crystal clear.
Smell / Nose / Aroma
Juniper and cardamom infused milk. Hint of smoke and freshly cut grass, with spa-like characteristics driven by the lavender, coriander and sweet orange. Spice notes from caraway, anise and pepper.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Pleasantly heavy rye and spice entry with floral lavender and anise top notes, followed by juniper, cardamom, coriander and dried orange peel.
Finish
Lightly sweet clean finish with citrus pith, some peppery spice and lite smokiness.
Comment
Juniper is there but cardamom is its equal companion. It is a Gin that you can also sip neat or on the rocks.

Aviation Gin takes its name from the classic Aviation cocktail. Distilled in Portland US, by Lee Medoff and Christian Krogstad, who teamed up with Seattle mixologist Ryan Magarian to produce a new style of Gin. In 2006, after nearly 30 rounds of trials and adjustments, their vision became reality when the trio felt they had finally captured the essence of their obsessions. The Aviation took off.
But, is Aviation Gin really a Gin? It depends how you look at it, we believe it is. Distilled from rye, it carries a rich flavour and an excellent, somewhat oily mouthfeel, quite different from your typical London dry Gin.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Aviation Gin
Joseph,
What a bargain for this at $35. If ketel one were a gin, it would taste like this. Lemon up front. A little floral. Then spicy. Good on the rocks or as a mixer. I still prefer Brooklyn on the rocks and Hendrick’s for a mixer, but you can’t go wrong with this.
Tom,
Great all around gin. I like it in my tom collins
Jonathan,

Wayne,
Gin and tonic tends to be my standard cocktail. My first impression of Aviation was good, but there was just something I didn’t like. Just a hint of a ‘heavy’ taste which I think they listed as blood on the flavor wheel. Not my favorite.
Chris,
I’m not a fan of gin, but this was great!
Got it in a Tasting Box, and have to admit I want more!
Very pleasantly surprised and definitely changed my mind about gin.
