Gin up a fun tasting tour - Olivia was an amazingly knowledgeable and friendly gin expert. I appreciated the olfactory opportunity to experience the various herbal components of the 3 distinct gins provided. The ability to try each gin neat and with various tonics demonstrated the different characteristics of each gin offering. The location for the tasting was also a very fun and funky space that felt like an American speakeasy in the middle of Edinburgh.

My new favourite G&T! - Jasmine was really friendly lass and a great host. We were lucky to have a ‘private’ tasting as we were the only people booked at that time. Very relaxed and informative presentation in a cozy snug setting. We learned about Eden Mill and the gin distilling processes and thoroughly enjoyed the perfect Eden Mill G&T welcome drink - so much so we headed upstairs to the bar above for more of the same after our session had finished!! Great value for money too.

Like drinking with close friends - Imagine your gin-enthousiast friend sits you down for a crash course. Our host, Olivia showed us through three different flavors of Eden Mill Gin in a journey from the gin-making process to the miriad of flavor possibilities, taking us back to sea docks, sheep pens and golf courses. If you want to get to know gin culture in a warm, intimate setting, give this one a try. Do ask for Olivia if you can, she had us at ease in no time!

LOVELY TIME AT GIN TASTING EXPERIENCE WITH OLIVIA - We headed to Eden and Mill gin tasting experience with Olivia this afternoon. She was lovely and very approachable. She got us through the three main gins they make: original, love and golf gin. All gins were of great taste although my favorite one was the golf gin. Olivia was very friendly and open to questions over all the experience. Thanks Olivia and Eden Mill for having us! Giovanni
