Eden Mill St. Andrews
Eden Mill is a contemporary gin and whisky brand from St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. The construction of an iconic new distillery on the banks of the Eden Estuary is currently underway and will be ready to welcome visitors again in early 2024. Prior to the founding of Eden Mill in 2012, the town of St Andrews had not had a distillery since the Haig distillery closed in the 19th century. Eden Mill became the town’s first distillery in 150 years and after a successful decade, our aim is to continue to produce premium craft gin whilst continuing to develop our single malt scotch whisky portfolio. As such, one might say we have a pioneering spirit although that’s not entirely accurate. You see, while the traditional meaning of pioneering spirit is a willingness to endure hardship in order to explore new places and try out new ways (which we do), we are, in many ways, far more inclined to apply our indomitable drive to revisit old places and return to old ways.
