Aviation American Gin, the distillery that was recently purchased by famed Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, has seen an influx of public interest as of late, in part due to Reynolds' creatively composed OOO emails that are automatically sent out to anyone that tries to contact him at Ryan@AviationGin.com.
Reynolds' OOO emails make use of the witty, sarcastic and often self-depreciating humor he uses on his beloved Twitter account, where he has responded to the hype surrounding the comical initiative by explaining that the rushes of emails have caused Aviation's servers to crash. The actor also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss his involvement in the company, and why he originally crafted his OOO emails.
