AVIATION GIN 750 ml

Description

Like the world's finest gins, Aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration recipe that produces a pure medley of botanical flavour.

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 pure, 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 vapours go into the condenser, which cools the vapours 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 hand-packed into boxes and ready to ship.

A unique combination of carefully selected botanicals are used to create a gin that coats the glass with slow-moving tears. On the nose, spiciness up front, layered with citrus zest, juniper and floral notes. Full, warm and viscous with sweet/spicy notes emerging mid-palate followed by a long, sweet and spicy finish.
