Eden Mill 5 Year Old Glenyard Private Bottling

IThe famous Haig family first founded a distillery at Guardbridge, Fife, in 1810. William Haig, the father of John Haig who founded Cameronbridge, built Seggie Distillery in the village’s Main Street. The distillery remained in operation until 1860, when the Haig’s, who were doing a roaring trade with Cameronbridge grain distillery, envisaged a better use for the facility as a paper mill. The site continued to operate as a paper mill until 2008 when Curtis Fine Papers went into administration, making 180 people redundant.

Fast-forward to 2012, when Fife businessman Paul Miller opened Eden Brewery at the site, and after installing an artisan still began producing hopped gin and single malt whisky in 2014. Rebranded as Eden Mill, the site became the first combined brewery & distillery in Scotland.

In April 2025, Eden Mill’s new distillery was officially completed and began production. Located on the banks of the Eden estuary overlooking the iconic St. Andrews Skyline, they also have a top-floor cocktail bar, so you can sit back with a dram, and enjoy the views.

Eden Mill leans heavily on its heritage as a brewer when it comes to defining the style of its single malt Scotch whisky by choosing malts inherent to beer in its mash: pale malt, chocolate malt and crystal malt. While many claimed barley varieties have little impact on a whisky’s flavour, more and more distilleries are now following suit.
