The Eden Mill story started with a mission to revive the lost art of distilling and brewing in St Andrews. As Scotland's first single-site distillery and brewery that also produces gin, whisky and beer, Eden Mill is already quite unique. The spirit is created in copper pot-stills and exhibits a wide range of flavors from botanicals sourced from the local area and around the world. As creators of craft gin, whisky and beers, their team of distillers have the opportunity to marry the best practices from all these disciplines, balancing both modern techniques and time-honored traditional methods.
Eden Mill’s Original Gin is a version of a traditional London Dry Gin. However the Sea Buckthorn berries that grow in the proximity of the distillery offer a unique citrus and tart flavor. This bottle is part of the distillery’s brand-new glass gin bottle range, and they partnered with illustrator Ella Ginn to create unique, woodcut-style illustrations, with each one telling its own unique story, played out across the front of each bottle’s label.
The Original Gin illustration tells the story of the harsh, coastal landscape of St. Andrews where sea buckthorn berries - the hero botanical for Original Gin - grow in abundance. This illustration depicts the tempestuous landscape in which these berries thrive, with churning waves, salt spray and swirling clouds – but with the sun in the distance making its appearance. This gin not only comes with a colorful story but also a vibrant flavor profile that we’re excited to share with you.
