Scottish Gin Award 2018 -– The Eden Mill Success
On Thursday 20th of September 2018, the team at Eden Mill joined likeminded finalists at the Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow to celebrate innovation and excellence in gin distilling in Scotland. Eden Mill joined over 600 others in celebrating Scotland’s biggest spirits competition.
On arrival, Eden Mill had the honour of being 1 of 5 selected Gins to be served as an arrival drink alongside Edinburgh Gin, Makar, Isle of Harris and McQueen. Solid Liquids done a fantastic job at hosting the drinks reception as did KD Media for hosting the entire night. It was evident from the start that all guests were truly honoured, excited and proud to be in attendance and the atmosphere from start to finish proved this.
Eden Mill were extremely humbled and honoured to have won the most awards of the night, collecting five awards in total.
- Gin of the Year (Overall Winner) – Original Gin.
- London Dry Gin of the Year (Gold) – Original Gin.
- Cask Gin of the Year (Bronze) – Oak Gin.
- Excellence in Marketing (Gold).
- Exporter of the Year (Gold).
Out of 116 Gins that originally entered the category, Eden Mill were truly honoured to have received an award in the London Dry Gin category fending off 30 other Gins that made it as finalists. Eden Mill’s Original Gin was thereafter recognised by the judges as the best gin in the overall competition, winning the title of Gin of The Year 2018.
Let’s just say that it was certainly a night to remember for not only those attending, but for all of the team at Eden Mill. Our achievements would not of been possible without the contribution, dedication and hard-work from the full team across the board and we are truly lucky to work alongside such passionate, creative and driven individuals.
The Scottish Gin Awards truly highlights the sheer volume of talent that exists within the Spirits industry in Scotland and it was simply amazing to share and applaud fellow attendees, to recognise them for their achievements.
The Eden Mill story started with a mission to revive the lost art of distilling in St. Andrews and we will continue to share our passion and push boundaries because it’s what we love to do.
We send our thanks to all those who believe in us and who continually support our brand. We love what we do and we’re glad that you do too.
Signed
One very proud and excited Eden Mill Team
