Stills go in at new Eden Mill distillery
By Miona MadsenIndependent Scottish distiller Eden Mill has installed the wash and spirit stills at its new distillery in St Andrews.

The arrival of the stills mark a ‘significant’ step towards the start of production on the The University of St Andrews Eden Campus in Scotland’s east coast.
Described as the beating heart of the distillery, the two handcrafted copper stills by LHS in Speyside were designed in collaboration with Eden Mill head distiller, Scott Ferguson.
The stills were designed to produce a ‘light, floral and grassy’ new make similar to the spirit distilled back in 2014 on the original stills.
The onion shaped wash still with a capacity of 15,000 litres, boil-ball spirit still with 11,500 litres, and shell-and-tube condenser were all selected by Ferguson.
Eden Mill will start testing the new stills in March, kicking off the process of fine-tuning the new make spirit before filling the first casks of the new distillery.
The distillery site is located seven minutes from St Andrews and is due to open for visitors in summer 2025. It will feature a shop and a third-floor cocktail bar, and tours will be available.
Rennie Donaldson, chief executive officer at Eden Mill, commented: “Installing our copper stills on-site is a momentous occasion for the brand and the start of a new chapter in Eden Mill’s story.
“We have come so far as a business, and we’re now just months away from filling our first whisky cask at our new distillery, which is testament to all the hard work the team has put in behind the scenes.”
Last October, Eden Mill partnered with Scottish biotech company MiAlgae to repurpose whisky effluent, a by-product of distillation.
In November, the distiller launched a new single cask series.
