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.

Bottle from the brewery. Hazy ruby body with a thin off-white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of apple, rhubarb and caramel. Flavour of strawberry, stewed tea and cranberry. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. I expected more wheat character, but this is pretty tasty.

Can from Vino Wines. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, orange and pear. Flavour of earth, sweet malts and sponge cake. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A decent IPA, but it’s not as vibrant and hoppy as I hoped it would be.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 2 - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has pale bread and ripening citrus fruits. Medium sweet flavor with lightly doughy white bread, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary and bready on the finish, with ripe lemon, citrus rind, faint melon and bitter hay. So so.
