Amazon shoppers can grab a bargain on the gin endorsed by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, which became immensely popular in Wales after his significant Wrexham AFC buyout. This celebrity-backed gin, sold as being "fantastic for cocktails" is now more affordable online compared to supermarket prices.
Aviation American Gin was owned by the Wrexham AFC's Ryan Reynolds in 2016 but entered into Diageo's portfolio in 2020. Despite the acquisition, Reynolds continues to hold an "ongoing ownership interest" and acts as the face of the brand.
‌
Right now, it is included in the Amazon Essentials promotion as the gin offers a temporary discount. Shoppers usually pay £34 for a 70cl bottle but can now obtain it for £23, presenting a saving of nearly 33%.
‌
The "distinguished gin" is renowned for its unique blend of botanicals within each bottle. Predominantly juniper-flavoured, it also includes a mix of cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, and 'two kinds of orange peel'.
Fans who purchased this spirit from Amazon have shared glowing endorsements. One shopper said: "Having tasted a number of gins over the year, this is by far the best that I have ever tasted. It's got a little kick to it and is slightly spiced. I have not tasted anything like this previously."

Another added: "With all the various fruit-based gins flooding the market, it's reassuring to find a solid, no-nonsense, traditional dry gin that ticks all the boxes!" A third shared: "Absolutely gorgeous, it is such a fresh and smooth flavour!"
While the lowest ratings didn't go below three stars, not every customer was happy with. One wrote that the gin "lacks flavour", claiming: "The botanicals are very weak and with a non-flavoured tonic the taste isn't nice at all. If you decide to try this, buy a flavoured tonic such as elderflower."
Another shopper claimed: "It's a pretty average gin to be honest with quite a chemical taste. I usually drink Hendricks but thought I'd try something new, and with all the hype, thought I would give this a try, but it just isn't to my taste."

Shoppers who are fans of the drink might want to take advantage of the current Amazon deal. Its offer is more affordable than Morrisons, which lists the same bottle for £30.
More shoppers had praise for the drink online. There is another shopper who shared: "After being caught up in Ryan Reynold's journey with Wrexham, I tried the gin and was instantly hooked. It isn't just Hollywood hype - it is a really good gin."

A fifth reviewer commented: "I have tried expensive and overhyped gins that frankly do not have a patch on Aviation. Decently priced, good quality and great flavour."
