Aviation American Gin

Type : Gin
ABV : 84
Producer : House Spirits Inc.
Country : United States
Size : 750ml
Description :

A simple and unique balance of gin, maraschino liqueur, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. That’s the classic Aviation cocktail invented by barman Hugo Ensslin at New York’s Hotel Wallick almost a century ago. One taste is all it took for Aviation co-founder Ryan Magarian to realize that instead of being limited to martinis and gin & tonics, “gin, in the hands of a passionate and well trained bartender, just might be the world’s most mixable spirit.”

Appearance
Crystal clear.
Aroma
Fresh and enlivening with peppermint, pine forest, cardamom, eucalyptus, anise and orange.
Taste
White Tic Tac spearmint freshness sits over integrated citrus, herbal, floral and spicy notes.
Aftertaste
More Tic-Tac spearmint and subtle herbal pine with faint hints of basil and lavender – particularly with water.
Overall
Traditionalists who like their gin to be predominantly juniper may be disappointed by the very subtle juniper notes in this “New Western” style gin. However, this gin is not trying to appeal to traditionalists, it is designed have its own distinctive style. As the name suggests it also works well in an Aviation.
