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.

Keg at Six Deg North. It pours cloudy deep red - brown with a medium beige head. The nose is earthy, toasty, banana bread, toasty sugars, candy, caramel and red fruit. The taste is quite sweet, sticky, sweet banana bread, red berry, old toasted malt, clove rock, candy, caramel and fruit tea with a sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. All a bit to sweet and sickly... Meh.

A can from the Queens Arms. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - caramel, grain, a touch of orange. Taste - more caramel, very sweet in fact. There is orange there too, but it’s not very refreshing. Palate - medium bodied with a rich, creamy texture and a cloying finish. Overall - not refreshing. Should be, for this style.
