With Christmas less than a month away, I thought I would take a look at some last-minute festive gift ideas if you’re not sure what to get certain members of the family or you have friends who are partial to a wee dram.
Eden Mill has recently opened its impressive new distillery and visitor centre on the banks of the Eden Estuary and have put together some wonderful Christmas drinks collections to suit the most discerning of tastes.

Eden Mill Whisky Collection
Let me start with the ultimate Christmas gift and exclusive whisky collection bundle, priced at £149 that features Eden Mill’s full-sized hero whiskies of Sherry Cask, Bourbon Cask and The Guard Bridge Blended Scotch Malt. It also comes with a 20cl Smoked Salt Sugar Syrup created with the East Neuk Salt Company, two Glencairn glasses and a branded water pipette, all beautifully presented in a premium gift box, making the perfect treat for whisky lovers looking to savour the Spirit of St Andrews.

Another great gift for gin lovers is the Core Gin Tasting Set & Distillery Experience, also for two people and priced at £60. This set contains three of Eden Mill’s signature gins – Original, Golf and Love – along with a Classic Gin Tour for two at the new distillery.

The perfect gift for the golfer in your life is The Golf One priced at £45.

The Guard Bridge Double Serve
This gift, priced at £52, is ideal for the Scotch Whisky lover as it contains Eden Mill’s signature Blended Malt Scotch Whisky – The Guard Bridge – created from Highland and Lowland single malts, including the distillery’s own, and finished in ex-Eden Mill casks for the perfect balance. The set also comes with Fever-Tree Ginger Ale, dehydrated lime, Smoked Salt Sugar Syrup and aromatic bitters so you can mix a classic Highball or a smoky Old Fashioned.

This set is priced at just £24 and is designed so that the recipient can discover the Spirit of St Andrews with a tasting flight of three miniature whiskies including The Guard Bridge Blended Malt, Bourbon Cask Single Malt and Sherry Cask Single Malt. It contains some of Eden Mill’s most recent releases and is the perfect gift for exploring or crafting a classic Whisky Ginger by the fire and the perfect introduction to Eden Mill’s whisky range.

Gin Miniature Pack
And finally the perfect Christmas gift for the gin lover in your life. The Gin Miniature Pack, priced at only £18, is a lovely trio of 5cl gins: Original, Golf and Love. They each capture the distinct taste of Eden Mill’s coastal craft and are decorated with illustrations inspired by St Andrews landmarks like the Swilcan Bridge and Cathedral ruins.
