Eden Mill

Introduction:

Located near St Andrews’ famous golf course, the Eden Mill distillery sits on a historic site once used by the Haig family for producing Spirits and Beer in the 19th century.

The Gin:

Unlike the young Whisky from Eden Mill, the distillery offers a diverse range of Gins. The Distiller’s Choice Collection features limited small batch bottlings handpicked by the distillers, including cask matured Gins. The Heritage Gin range is inspired by the local surroundings, with ingredients like sea buckthorn and seaweed. The premium Gin range includes experimental Gins with botanicals sourced globally, such as passion fruit and coconut or wild dog roses and Damask roses. Eden Mill also produces Gin liqueurs in various flavors like raspberry, vanilla, meringue, mango, pineapple, and spicy rhubarb crumble.

The Production:

Eden Mill uses the finest local water sources and regionally grown barley. The master distillers explore wood maturation and different distillation methods to create unique flavors.

The Fermentation:

Fermentation at Eden Mill takes around four days.

The Distillation:

The middle cut, carefully selected by hand, allows the master distillers to make decisions based on taste and expertise.

The Maturation:

The distillery primarily uses first fill and virgin oak casks for maturation, with over 95% of the casks falling into this category. Smaller cask sizes enable improved and faster maturation without compromising quality.

History:

The site of the current distillery was home to the Seggie Distillery, built by the Haig family in 1810. After a period of distilling elsewhere, the buildings were converted into a paper mill, which operated until 2008. In 2012, Eden Brewery began producing alcohol on the site, and in 2014, the transition to Eden Mill distillery was completed with the first Malt Whisky distillation.

The Visitor Centre:

Due to ongoing construction work, the distillery is currently not open to visitors. However, Eden Mill offers Virtual Distillery Experiences, including Private Business Tastings and the Blendworks Gin School. Bookings can be made via hello@edenmill.com.
