Eden Mill is the first producer in Scotland to combine a craft brewery and a distillery. Craft beer has been brewed in St Andrews again since 2012, and gin and whisky since 2014, following a hiatus since the Haig family last produced whisky in the region in 1860. Almost 150 years earlier, the then Seggie Distillery had produced grain whisky there.

The symbiosis between the brewery and the distillery produces aromatic, characterful beers which, when unhopped, form the basis for their whiskies. A considerable range of flavours is imparted to the whisky by the use of pale, chocolate and crystal malts, resulting in unique products. At Eden Mill, there is still a great deal of experimentation and scrutiny to ensure the product range and quality are constantly being developed. Everything is produced by hand and grown in the region’s fields.
