Aviation is far too spicy/floral for a G&T (although it works great in some other cocktails, including an Aviation - perhaps not surprisingly). YMMV.

Bombay and Aviation are definitely very different flavors… you’d think AA would want to provide a more consistent experience, but I suppose we’re supposed to feel fortunate we’re getting any drinks at all in J, unlike Y currently.
