Aviation Old Tom Gin Batch Distilled

Aviation Old Tom Gin Batch Distilled is a unique expression from Aviation American Gin, which is co-owned by actor Ryan Reynolds. Here's what makes it distinct:

Key Features:

• Old Tom Style: Unlike their flagship "American Dry Gin," this is an Old Tom style gin. Historically, Old Tom gins were a slightly sweeter style of gin. However, Aviation's interpretation takes a different approach.
• Barrel-Aged: Instead of adding sugar or flavorings, Aviation Old Tom Gin is aged for at least one year in used American white oak barrels that previously held Westward Whiskey (also produced by House Spirits Distillery in Portland, Oregon, where Aviation was originally made).
• Mellowed Flavor: The barrel aging process mellows the gin without detracting from its original botanical flavors.
• Same Botanicals: It utilizes the same eight botanicals as the standard Aviation Gin:
  • Juniper
  • Lavender
  • Sweet Orange Peel
  • Bitter Orange Peel
  • Cardamom
  • Coriander
  • Indian Sarsaparilla
  • Anise Seed
• Batch Distilled: Like their standard gin, it's handcrafted in small batches using a proprietary maceration and distillation process in pot stills.
• ABV: Bottled at 42% ABV (84 proof).

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Expect the signature floral and citrus notes of Aviation Gin, with added hints of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle woody character from the barrel aging.
• Palate: The gin is smooth and mellow, with the juniper and citrus softened by the barrel influence. You'll likely find notes of spice, a touch of sweetness from the wood, and a more rounded mouthfeel compared to the unaged version.
• Finish: The finish is smooth and lingering, with the botanical notes complemented by the warm and subtle oak undertones.

Overall Impression:

Aviation Old Tom Gin Batch Distilled offers a unique take on the Old Tom style. By aging their signature gin in whiskey barrels, they create a spirit that is smoother and more complex, with subtle whiskey-like characteristics without losing its gin identity. It's often described as a gin that can be enjoyed neat or in classic gin cocktails, offering a richer and more nuanced profile. Some even suggest it can be sipped like a lighter whiskey.
