Aviation Gin is one of those artisan spirit brands we run into every time we turn a corner. The brand grew 84% in 2012 and is expected to hit 30,000 cases this year. Made by Oregon-based House Spirits Distillery, Aviation recently announced a deal with Southern Wine & Spirits to expand their partnership beyond the West Coast and earlier this week we reported the brand had partnered with Kimpton Hotels to instill the gin in 49 locations.
