According to Forbes, Aviation is a small gin brand produced in Portland, Oregon. The outlet referred to it as a "growing player" in a "static" gin market. Although the sale price and the percent of purchase is unknown, a representative for Reynolds told the Forbes that he is a "significant owner."

In a statement acquired by People, Reynolds said, "Aviation is the best tasting gin in the world. Once I tried it, I knew I wanted to get involved with the company in a big way."

"If you think all gin tastes the same, you'd be mistaken," Reynolds elaborated. "Aviation is in a completely different league and I couldn't be prouder to be a part of the company."

People also reports that the Deadpool actor will have an active role in day-to-day business operations and will oversee creative direction of Aviation. According to Forbes, Reynolds is the first celebrity to invest in gin as opposed to other popular liquors.
