we're getting ready to welcome you
OPENING IN 2025
OPENING IN 2025
OUR SITE IS BUSY...
Our timelapse cameras take a photo every 15 minutes. What you can see below is our future distillery visitor centre. This will be a bright, open space with mezzanine flooring allowing guests to get a feel for the true height of the building. The big windows at the far side offer beautiful and uninterrupted views over the Eden Estuary towards St Andrews.
If you have been past the site recently, you'll see it is a hive of activity and our branding now sits proudly on the external walls of the building. We are on course to become operational early in 2025 and we plan to open our visitor centre doors a couple of months later - not long now!
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
A lot, if you ask us! At the beginning of the summer, our branding was installed on the external walls of our distillery. We had all been looking forward to this moment for a long time and it now feels like the building is officially "ours".
It is now easily recognisable as the Eden Mill Distillery to anyone who passes it!
OUR PRIME LOCATION ON THE EDEN ESTUARY
This photo gives you an idea of the views from our distillery windows. The top floor of the visitor centre will be home to a cocktail bar where guests will be able to sit back, relax and take in the beautiful landscape, which is always striking regardless of whether the weather is calm and still or brooding and stormy.
Showcasing the best of gin and whisky
We will offer our guests gin and whisky tours, each of which will take a different route around the distillery.
Both will tell you the story of Eden Mill and our exciting journey so far and both will also finish with a tasting. The cocktail bar will be available to book as a bolt-on to your tour, in case you want your visit to last a little bit longer!
A PLACE TO ENJOY
We want our guests to be able to come and visit us, regardless of whether or not they are doing a tour. Our distillery will have a café on the bottom floor,
perfect for enjoying a coffee and a homebake while catching up with friends.
There will be a retail space where we’ll sell not only our gins and whiskies, but also local produce. On the top floor, our bar will offer a range of cocktails for visitors to enjoy while looking out at the stunning view of the
estuary waters.
Progressing
sustainably
We know we are so lucky to have our home on the beautiful Fife coast and we want our distillery to have the most positive impact possible on its surroundings and on the community.
All our electricity will be 100% renewable, coming from either the solar farm belonging to the University of St Andrews or other renewable energy sources. Additionally, the CO₂ produced during the fermentation process will be captured for future use and we are getting ready to announce a very exciting new partnership with a fellow Scottish company...
Find us at
The Bothy
You may have noticed a small cabin called ‘The Bothy’ perched next to our new distillery.
Compact and cosy, the walls of The Bothy showcase information about Eden Mill and about our new distillery and visitor centre.
While we are happy to welcome in visitors, it’s better to schedule some time with our Whisky Brand Ambassador, Euan, so he can ensure he’s there and so that your visit doesn’t clash with other scheduled appointments.
