Canadian-American actor, comedian, film producer and screenwriter Ryan Reynolds has signed a deal with Proof Drinks to distribute his Oregon-made Aviation Gin in the UK in order to grow its presence in Britain!
About The Brand
In 2018, Davos Brands secured its celebrity backing with Reynolds, who bought an ownership interest in the company.
According to Nielsen, Aviation Gin was responsible for 37% of the total gin category growth in the US last year, which is distilled and bottled in Portland.
What Does The New Partnership Mean?
Aviation is already available to buy across 270 Asda stores and 60 Waitrose outlets in the UK, which is simultaneously driving its presence in restaurants and bars throughout the country.
The brand, however, sells in over 40 countries with further plans for international expansion this year. Proof Drinks seems to be all set as of now, to look after its distribution in the UK on and off-trade.
