Bring modern sophistication and revelry to all of your celebrations with Aviation American Gin. Aviation American Gin is served in an Art Deco inspired bottle to bring the iconic beauty of the Jazz Age to any liqueur shelf or bar cart. This premium gin was developed to perfectly compliment the refreshing-tasting, flowery Aviation cocktail and has become an icon of the American distilling movement. A blend of botanicals sourced from around the world blend together to create a beautiful gin with a nose of juniper, floral sweetness, and citrus peel, wonderful flavor with spicy notes of cardamom and cinnamon with floral notes, and a soft, lingering finish. Perfect for a classic negroni cocktail. Includes one 84 proof 750 mL bottle of Aviation American Gin. Please drink responsibly.
STEP 1: INFUSION
It all starts with our precise blend of botanicals – cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper, and two kinds of orange peel. The botanicals are suspended in a neutral grain spirit for 18 hours in macerating tanks.
STEP 2: DISTILLATION
The macerate is then pumped into a still along with pure water. Steam jackets heat the macerate, the vapors go into the condenser, which cools the vapors to form the gin distillate.
STEP 3: THE CUT
In a meticulously monitored process, the first fluid leaving the still, the "heads," is removed. Collecting the "heart of the spirit" throughout the run, the distillers then determine the end of the cycle and make the final cut, "the tails." This process takes approximately 7 hours and at this point, the "heart cut" is 142 proof.
STEP 4: BLENDING & BOTTLING
The "heart cut" is transferred to a blending tank where pure water is added, bringing the gin to the desired 84 proof. It is then sent to the bottling line for filling, capping, and labeling. Aviation is then packed into boxes and ready to ship.
