Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Edinburgh, Eden Mill St Andrews brings a piece of Scotland’s renowned spirit heritage to life through its Gin Tasting Experience with a Perfect Serve. This one-hour journey invites guests into a historic basement venue on Rutland Street where the intimate setting forms the perfect backdrop for uncovering the story behind Eden Mill’s distinctive gin range.
Edinburgh’s cityscape, a mix of ancient stone and lively modern culture, is the ideal place for this culinary-meets-heritage experience. Eden Mill, originally from St Andrews, transports the essence of the coastal town’s spirit craft to the capital, blending natural botanicals found along Scotland’s rugged coastline with innovative mixology. For anyone curious about Scotland’s evolving gin scene, this guided tasting offers far more than a casual sip; it’s a masterclass in flavor profiles and crafting the perfect serve tailored to individual palates.
The session starts with a refreshing gin highball, followed by an engaging history of gin and the Eden Mill brand. Guests then sample three core gins carefully selected to showcase the brand’s range of botanicals and distillation techniques. The highlight is a hands-on cocktail masterclass, where you get to create your own signature drink under expert guidance, an element that sets this experience apart from typical tastings.
Beyond the tasting, the experience fosters a connection to Scotland's rich spirits culture, intensified by the convivial atmosphere of the historic cellar. Participants leave not only with new knowledge but exclusive discounts on Eden Mill products, and the option to bring home a bespoke bottle of Love Gin.
Perfectly positioned for visitors seeking a blend of Scottish tradition and contemporary craft spirits, Eden Mill’s experience enriches Edinburgh’s outdoor exploration scene with an indoors adventure that captivates the senses and spirit alike.
