Like the world's finest gins, Aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration recipe that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor. It all starts with our precise blend of botanicals – cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper, and two kinds of orange peel. The botanicals are suspended in a neutral grain spirit for 18 hours in macerating tanks. The macerate is then pumped into a still along with pure water. Steam jackets heat the macerate, the vapors go into the condenser, which cools the vapors to form the gin distillate. In a meticulously monitored process, the first fluid leaving the still, the "heads," is removed. Collecting the "heart of the spirit" throughout the run, the distillers then determine the end of the cycle and make the final cut, "the tails." This process takes approximately 7 hours and at this point, the "heart cut" is 142 proof. The "heart cut" is transferred to a blending tank where pure water is added, bringing the gin to the desired 84 proof. It is then sent to the bottling line for filling, capping, and labeling. Aviation is then packed into boxes and ready to ship.

GOTTA SAY, TOMORROW IS LOOKING PRETTY TASTY FOR YOU. Broken Shed Vodka is not only ahead of its time, it’s ahead of your time. That’s because it’s made in New Zealand, where it’s already tomorrow. Pretty neat, huh? Just like a crisp, clean glass of our vodka, distilled with the purest New Zealand mountain mineral water, spring water, highest-quality distilled whey, and nothing else. Pure, simple, sustainable. Forget what you know about vodka—this is the vodka of the future. This is what vodka can be. Cheers to Broken Shed New Zealand Vodka. Cheers to you. And cheers to tomorrow.
