Aviation Gin is 42% abv. / 84 proof and made by House Spirits Distilling in Portland, Oregon. The botanicals are Juniper, Cardamom, Coriander, Lavender, Anise Seed, Sasparilla, and dried orange peel. Interestingly it is made from 100% rye grain neutral spirits. This is a medium bodied gin that you can feel the weight of on your tongue with its almost syrupy presence. It is smooth, lush, and pervasive in your mouth. The aroma is solidly fragrant, even perfumey, with a mix of floral, not spicy juniper; with spicier notes coming from cardamom, anise, and lavender.
The taste is bold but smooth, and on the sweet side. A mix of juniper, anise, cardamom, with a little lavender. Some citrus notes edge in here and there and the finish is very long and gradually drying and spicy, with some of that sarsparilla wafting along at the tail end. Aviation is a real tongue tingler.
