We are excited to share that this week we will be using our Eden Mill social media to support Mental Health Awareness Week. 

It’s been a tough few months for many of us and we feel it is more important now than ever to look after our mental health. So we want to use our platform to lift spirits and encourage you, our wonderful community to be kind to yourself! 

Starting Monday 18th May, we will be collaborating with a host of brilliant small businesses to promote positivity & wellness. They will be sharing tips and tricks across our social media on how to keep your mind and body healthy and create a work-life balance during these unusual times! 

To take part, all you need to do is join our insta live at the scheduled times – we look forward to seeing you there!

Craft distillers Eden Mill have launched a limited-edition blue ceramic bottle of their award-winning Original Gin to show their support and raise valuable funds for the NHS.

£2 from every Original Gin Blue Bottle sold at £30 will be donated to help support and protect the amazing efforts of healthcare workers, battling Covid-19 on the frontline.

5,000 bottles have been created to be sold across the coming months, with donations being made each month to a different NHS associated charity or project.

The first donation will be made to Masks 4 NHS Heroes, a crowdfunding effort set up by front-line NHS doctors to help raise money for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This equipment will be distributed to all front-line staff including paramedics, porters, cleaning staff, healthcare assistants, catering staff, physiotherapists and NHS volunteers.

CEO Paul Miller said:

‘By creating 5,000 limited edition blue bottles of our Original Gin we hope to raise £10,000 in the coming months to donate to NHS Charities and projects. 

We have chosen Masks 4 NHS Heroes to receive the first donation because the provision of personal protection equipment is so essential for NHS staff. We are so proud and thankful for all of our healthcare heroes doing incredible work at this time to save lives and battle this virus. We hope this can make even a small difference.”

The Eden Mill Original Gin is a mouth-watering, smooth gin with delicious citrus qualities. Made from juniper botanicals, lemon balm and Fife’s seabuckthorn berries, it was voted Scotland’s Number One Gin at the 2018 Scottish Gin Awards, where 116 gins were blind tasted and is one of Eden Mill’s most popular bottles.

The 70cl bottles are available to buy direct here for £30.

The bottle is the latest initiative from Eden Mill showing their support of the NHS. The gin distillery have also been offering 25 percent discount and free delivery on purchases from their website site for NHS staff to say ‘cheers’ for all their incredible work. Ends 24th April 2020.

At Eden Mill we are continuously monitoring the situation concerning COVID-19, ensuring our teams follow the very latest Government advice.  As always, the health and wellbeing of our customers and staff remain our highest priority and for this reason, only a small number of team members remain in our workplaces and we have asked our staff to work from home wherever possible. We have also had to shut down various parts of our retail and sales arm for the time being. 

As we are dedicated to our customers and staff, we wanted to share all that we have been up to #ShareTheLove this week, as well as a few exciting things to look out for in the coming weeks!

Supporting Our Wonderful Communities 

• We offered a 25% discount and free delivery to all NHS workers – once again we thank you for everything you are doing – you are amazing. Ends 24th April 2020. 

• Nominate your local hero- every 2 weeks, we are asking our lovely social media followers to nominate a person who is doing something good within their community and who deserves a surprise Eden Mill gin delivery. The response has already been incredible and we have thoroughly enjoyed leaving Eden Mill goodies on the doorsteps of 10 such deserving people so far. We will continue to run our ‘nominate your local hero’ scheme pledging to surprise 10 deserving winners every 2 weeks throughout this crisis for as long as it takes for us as a Nation to beat this!

• #Sharethelove – Before the tighter lockdown rules came into play we were donating a miniature of gin with every online or direct purchase that we thought would be a perfect gift to share with a neighbour or a loved one during a time that can be quite scary and lonely for some. Once the lockdown rules tightened we had to keep in line with the advice of the government and therefore had to rethink our #sharethelove offering as visiting others became off-limits. With that in mind we are now offering a free bottle of one of our delicious mixology cocktails that you can either enjoy yourself or give to someone else to bring a little joy to their day – as long as you follow the government’s advice and do this safely!

Fun Customer Experience at home

• We are hosting our first ever Virtual Gin Tasting (which sold out in under 48 hours!). This will run over 2 sessions on Saturday 4th April & Saturday 11th April at 5pm (Gin O’clock). Our gin tastings are always full of fun and laughter, something that is much needed during this time. Each customer taking part will purchase a gift set that contains 12 x 5cl miniatures and two glasses that will be delivered before the event and during the sessions the hosts will take you through a step by step guide on how to taste and serve your gins.  Not only that, but there will also be chances to win prizes too! It is sure to be a fun filled event! We will be releasing a second batch of these tasting sets very soon!

Eden Mill Product Availability

• Drive Through Drink Shop – Our retail team have created a pop up drive through shop at our temporary site in Guardbridge where customers can order gin from the comfort of their cars and have this bagged and delivered to you,  minimising all contact and still enabling customers to have the service we would offer at any of our retail outlets. Not only that you can ‘Click & Collect’ your order here – shopping has never been easier thanks to the staff here. Very soon, we will also be offering hand sanitiser which can be bought (1 per customer) from this site and online. 

• We are still taking online orders in-house and the courier service we use has been sending the same staff member for collection. Each package is only handled and loaded into the van by one person who is wearing gloves and all of our staff are practising social distancing at home and work. We are in a unique position that the packaging side of our delivery service is managed in house. Therefore, as we have full control over our orders from the bottling of our products to the packaging, we can be certain we are following every procedure in the strictest means to deliver our products in the safest possible way. 

Hand Sanitiser

• We have been working hard to produce hand sanitiser in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and will be releasing an initial batch of 2000 in the coming 2 weeks. 
• 1000 will be donated to a number of frontline charities and the remaining 1000 will be available for members of the public to buy at £5 per bottle (this covers the cost of 2 bottles, with 1 having been donated to charities and services). 
• So you can pick up a bottle and still be doing something charitable at the same time! 

Supporting Our Staff 

• We are committed to trying to deploy as many of our valued 63 members of staff in as best ways as we can to be adding value during the coming months. 

• We have asked all staff that can work from home do so. 

We are following the advice from the government and have put the following procedures in place;

• Disposable gloves are changed every hour for admin staff and every 30-40 minutes for packaging staff.

• Hands are washed and sanitised every 30 minutes.

• We have reduced workplace numbers to 7 members of staff.  Each staff member self-isolates when at home and practices responsible social distancing when needing to go to the shops. This reduces the number of people we are in contact with to an absolute minimum of our household and work. 

• All work surfaces are thoroughly cleaned every morning and evening, before and after work (this includes handles, laptops, toilets, & phones). Most surfaces are no longer shared.

• Arrangements are now in place to ensure staff are all standing and sitting apart. We’ve relocated workstations. The packaging team have significantly widened their working area in order to separate by the required 2 metres.

As previously mentioned, we implemented safety measures including strictly only the same 7 staff packaging all online orders to maintain the highest safety standards for our staff and customers.  This team have become closer than ever over these last few weeks. On Thursday 2nd April at the end of their working day, they joined the rest of the UK in applauding our wonderful NHS workers.

From each and everyone of us at Eden Mill we thank you all for your continued support and hope you and your loved ones all stay safe and happy in the coming weeks and months!

Best Wishes

Team Eden

We thank you for your support, and wish you continued safety throughout this.

Share the love this Mother’s Day with a special engraved Love Gin! Our new Love Gin glass bottle is perfect for Mother’s Day.

Same pink gin, just a little greener… we’ve re-released our Love Gin just in time for Mother’s Day in a new glass bottle. The new design has been created in the UK exclusively for Eden Mill. The 50 crystal cut design honours the style of bottle used on the Eden Mill distillery site when gin and whisky was made there in the 1800s.  

The new glass bottle continues our commitment to sustainability; it is more easily recycled and the new lightweight design uses 18% less glass than the industry standard bottle. Made in the UK and distilled in St Andrews, it also has a low carbon footprint. 

The beloved ceramic bottle will still be available directly from our website and our stores. 

For Mother’s Day, we’ve engraved our Love Gin bottles with a special Mother’s day message which will be available online and to purchase directly from Eden Mill’s Blendworks Gin School in Princes Square. The bottle comes as part of a special Love Gin Martini Gift Set at £36. The perfect gift for gin-credible mums everywhere!

You can shop the gift set here – https://bit.ly/2wTuNc5

In celebration of St Andrew’s Day, we’re delighted to reveal our 2019 Release Single Malt.

Retailing at £79, the limited release of 3,000 bottles is a collaborate with Fife-based artist Hilke MacIntyre to create the art piece, titled ‘St Andrews’ for the presentation box. Hilke MacIntyre, originally from Germany, has lived in Fife since 1995 and is known as a specialist in linocutting: a traditional and highly skilled craft, derived from woodcutting. The artwork is inspired by pivotal moments in Eden Mill’s story and features famous
landmarks of the St Andrews and Guardbridge coastline – a place we at Eden Mill is proud to call home.

The 2019 Release Single Malt is our third single malt whisky in two years, since the unveiling of the First Bottling in 2017, and will see just 1,500 bottles available in the UK.

Scott Ferguson, Eden Mill’s Head Distiller, said: “This limited release is one of the most exciting whisky offerings from Eden Mill in our five years of distilling.’ He continued: “Working with sherry flavours from the oloroso and the sweet sugary flavour from the pedro ximenez casks is something that has been present throughout our previous hip flask releases and we want to exhibit our ability to work with these flavours in our 2019 Single Malt release.”

Our 2019 Release aims to deliver a balance of sweet, spice and light notes of toasted fruits and remains sweet and fruity, with hints of cocoa and caramelised biscuits beneath, with a malty-sweet towards the finish.

The 2019 Release Single Malt has incorporated a selection of Oloroso hogheads, pedro ximenez hogsheads, American bourbon barrels with a cask of chocolate malt spirits and crystal malt spirit to craft their latest liquid.

2019 Release Single Malt Whisky (70cl, 46.5% ABV) is available to order via
