Bought a couple bottles of my favorite Scotch (Laphroaig) and headed to the gin area to buy some Broker's. Well, for some reason, I noticed bottles of Aviation gin. Yes, it was on the top shelf. The bottles had tags around the necks saying they scored highly. Actually, the tag said, Top Gin 97 points, Wine Enthusiast. OK, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff and yes I'm one of the few who read labels on bottles of booze.
Anyway, yes, I bought a bottle and just sampled it.
Well, I'm surely not an experienced booze sampler. Let me rephrase that, I can't talk those fancy terms about after taste, body, bouquet, and all of that other stuff.
It would seem if you want to test a booze you'd do it straight. After all, if you mix it with a bunch of other stuff...how in the heck can you tell what the actual booze is like.
Anyway, I poured this gin in a shot glass and sipped it, if you will. Let's see, I'll say it's smooth. It's interesting (about as fancy as I'll get). OK, I'll let it go at that. Anything else I'd say would be BS.
It's a cool looking bottle and has a metal-looking cap.
Anyway, not that you folks care, Aviation gin is my new gin. Yes, I'm sure it'd be great in mixed drinks; however, if you like to drink your gin straight, this should really be on your list. Give this gin a try......
Here's a link to the Aviation website site. Tell them George sent you and you'll get 50% off. Just joking.
