Fife distillery to host virtual gin tasting

Gin enthusiasts and novices will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Eden Mill story and discover the tastes and flavours of the distillery’s full range of classic gins and liqueurs. All from the safety of their home.

Local Fife brand ambassador Steve Lowrie Mackay and head of events Chris Weir will share their expertise and knowledge of the botanicals in the gins, as well as the history of gin in Scotland and the Eden Mill distillery, during this fun 90 minute virtual event.

Participants can enjoy their guidance as they taste six different gins and will even have the opportunity to win further treats and prizes as they interact with their hosts over Zoom (the online video conferencing website).

Each participant will receive 12 gins and liqueurs by courier ahead of the event, alongside two elegant Eden Mill traditional tulip glasses, and two Eden Mill Mixology Project cocktails to kickstart their tasting.

Mr Lowrie Mackay said: “Our gin tasting experiences are renowned as a brilliant day out for gin enthusiasts and novices alike, in fact the Eden Mill gin tasting is the number one attraction in St Andrews on Trip Advisor.

“We know that people at home are beginning to feel boredom set in and frankly we’d like nothing better than a Saturday night out on the town, but while we can’t do that for our own safety during lockdown, Eden Mill thought we could bring the party to your living room in April.

“I look forward to chatting through the range of Eden Mill’s classic craft gins, including the St Andrews take on London Dry Gin, which was voted Scotland’s number one gin at the 2018 Scottish Gin Awards, where 116 gins were blind-tasted.”

There are limited places available at the Eden Mill Virtual Gin Tasting on Saturday, April 4 and Saturday, April 11. To book or to find out more visit www.edenmill.com.
