Description
In 1810 the Eden Estuary was offering its crystal clear waters to the legendary Haig brothers, helping them distil and lay down some of St Andrews' finest whiskies. Before them this same site hosted the Seggie Brewery, known for their strong connections with local farmers and agricultural workers

In 2012, Eden Mill resurrected this fine brewing and spirits tradition with our own take on Scottish craft brewing and distilling. Eden Mill were Scotland's first single site brewery and distillery – we benefit from the best of local water sources, regionally grown barley and a dynamic, international team with some of the best education and experience the world can offer. Our distillers are at the forefront of experimental wood ageing and distillation methods to bring out more of the outstanding flavours found in our products.

We know our beer, gin and whisky will stand the test of time and do the tradition of St Andrews brewing and distilling proud.

After ceasing production of their beers on site in 2018, they were produced by a third-party contracted brewer called Eden River Brew Co before beer production stopped completely in 2021.

33cl bottle, thanks to a swap from Rob. It pours blonde with no bubbles and a good head. The nose is SURPRISE....sour, winey and some cherry and cherry stone fruit. The taste is more of the sour cherries and with a dry oak finish. The palate has a medium body and then a long tight texture which goes into the drying oak finish. Overall, this is really enjoyable. Is this what was intended? This has all the aromas and flavours of a Flemish Red while the beer was set up on here as an English strong ale. There must have been some wild yeast used in here or could that sourness come from the barrel.I guess the closest parallel is Rogue’s John John Hazelnut barrel which I also really enjoyed.
