\"Aviation<\/p>\n

Founded in Portland, Oregon and crafted in small batches by a unique bartender and distiller partnership, Aviation Gin is an innovative American gin<\/a> with a unique botanical mix that results in a much smoother, easier drinking flavour than typical London Dry gins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf you think all gins taste the same, you\u2019d be mistaken,\u201d said Reynolds, who enjoys drinking his Aviation gin on the rocks. \u201cAviation is in a completely different league and I couldn\u2019t be prouder to be a part of the brand.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reynolds will play an active role in the day-to-day business of the brand and oversee creative direction as part of his mission to introduce the world to the great taste of Aviation Gin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aviation Gin was launched in South Africa recently by Cape Town-based Truman & Orange and is available nation-wide in high-quality liquor stores and retailers including Pick \u2019n Pay and Makro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven before this announcement we were very excited to bring Aviation Gin to SA\u2019s gin lovers. It is an amazing drink with a great story.<\/span>\u00a0The first ever collaboration between ex-bartender and a distiller, Aviation Gin pays tribute to those golden times in America when gin-based cocktails were extremely popular. It is undeniably smooth and amazingly mixable and we\u2019re really excited about its prospects in SA\u201d, says Rowan Liebbrandt, of Truman & Orange.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cRyan\u2019s being a part of such an iconic brand is very exciting – he wholeheartedly embodies the authentic, original spirit of Aviation Gin and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s going to be great working with such a legend over the next few years\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Aviation<\/p>\n

Aviation Gin has been created to be exceptionally smooth, so you can enjoy sipping it on the rocks or in a delicious cocktail; think the Amelia Earhart and Aviation Cocktail \u2013 one of the most popular drinks of the early 1900s, which was published in the last known cocktail recipe book before the Prohibition in 1917.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truly America\u2019s original craft gin<\/a>, Aviation Gin combines a wide botanical medley of flavours, with Juniper in the background and citrus and floral flavors in the front. Softer, more subtle and balanced with a smooth and delicious finish, it can fly solo or take any mixed drink to new heights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Available in 750 ml bottles at ~R450\/ bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n
