Avva Gin
Hand-Crafted & Small-Batch Gin. Orange And Lime Peels Arrive First On The Nose, But Are Quickly Backed Up By Refreshing, Vegetal Herbs. A Crackle Of Peppery Juniper Lasts Throughout.
When They Say Hand-Crafted & Small-Batch, This Is The Entire Truth. The Small-Batch Distilled Spirit Is Bottled By Hand, With Each Bottle Being Individually Numbered And Signed By The Master Distiller.
Avva – Means A Respected Grand-Mother, A Respected Mother, Any Old Or Respectable Woman In The Indian Language Of Dravidian. In Hebrew It Means To Overturn Or Ruin Which Links The Reputation That Gin Had As ‘Mother’s Ruin’ From The Hogarth Era.
Edinburgh Gin Seaside
Inspired By The East Coast Shoreline Near Edinburgh, Seaside Gin Was The First Of Our Collaborations With Heriot-Watt University’s Brewing & Distilling Msc. Its Shoreline Botanicals Including Ground Ivy, Bladderwrack And Scurvygrass Contribute To A Spirit With Distinctive Minerality.
This Is A Finely Balanced Gin With A Fresh Sweetness On The Nose, Soft Salinity And Herbaceous Notes On The Palate, And A Clean Finish. Seaside Gin Is At Home In A Crisp G&T, A Briny Seaside Martini With Olives And Anchovy Garnish And A Variety Of Classic Cocktails.
Voted Gin of The Year at the Scottish Gin Award
Eden Mill’s award-winning Original Gin, also known as Eden Gin, is the St Andrews take on a classic London Dry. This gin was voted Scotland’s Number One Gin at the 2018 Scottish Gin Awards, where 116 gins were blind tasted!
Made from Fife’s seabuckthorn berries, a super food that grows within walking distance of the St Andrews distillery. The unique tart berry flavour is abundant but they balance the gin around it using citrus elements drawn from the other botanicals (like lemon balm and citrus peel). This gin is on a quite different level to most.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Strong citrus nose of lemon balm, bitter orange and hints of light grapefruit.
Palate: Delicate spice of coriander and clove through the midpoint. A sweetness of lychee, rambutan and pear under more sweetness in an orange finish.
Finish: Well rounded and smooth with no burn. A classic, clean and refreshing gin.
6 O’clock Gin
The Smoothness Flows From The Custom-Built Copper Still With Its Unique Double Sphere Head, Together With The Careful Selection Of Our Botanicals And Our Distiller’s Craft. Only The Pure Hear Of Each Run Makes The Cut.
Edward Kain, The Dapper Gentleman Seafarer And Great Grandfather Of Our Head Distiller, Enjoyed His Gin And Tonic At 6 O’clock, A Tradition Still Shared By British Gin-Lovers All Over The World Today.
Clean, Green Elderflower Leaps Forward, Supported By A Delightfully Sweet And Juicy Orange. Juniper Is Present Throughout, But Never In A Dominating Capacity, Rather It Supports The Entire Flavour Journey, Leaving The Mouth Oscillating Wildly Between Pine And Citrus Long After The Sip Is Supped.
