Aviation Gin

A gin that lets juniper share the stage. Aviation was created in Portland, Oregon, as a softer, more rounded take on gin, and has become one of America's best-loved craft gins.<br> <br> Its botanicals include cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla and two kinds of orange peel alongside the juniper. The result is smooth, aromatic and spicy, rather than piney.<br> <br> Who it's for: Gin drinkers who find London Dry too sharp, and cocktail fans.<br> <br> How to enjoy it: In its namesake Aviation cocktail, or with light tonic and an orange twist.
