Solo Aviator Gin is produced in the Western Cape, South Africa. It’s a dry gin made with a botanical blend that emphasizes classic juniper alongside pine, citrus, and warming spices. Bottled at 40–43% ABV, the gin is designed to deliver a clean, bold profile that works well neat or as the base for gin cocktails.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Clear, bright, with good clarity and a smooth, uncoloured finish
- Aroma: Pronounced juniper and pine top notes, fresh citrus zest (orange & lemon), with hints of coriander seed, angelica root, and a whisper of cassia bark
- Palate: Crisp and clean; juniper leads, with spicy botanicals (like coriander), balanced citrus, and a slightly oily texture that gives depth
- Finish: Refreshing and firm; lingering pine and citrus, with a subtle spice warmth and a dry, masculine edge
- ABV: ~43%
Serving Suggestions: Serve over ice with premium tonic and a twist of citrus peel (grapefruit or orange) to enhance the citrus notes. Also works in classic gin cocktails like G&T, Negroni, or Gin Martini. A sprig of rosemary or a slice of lemon will highlight its pine and citrus botanicals.
