ST ANDREWS distiller Eden Mill has opened its biggest retail outlet to date.
The gin and whisky distiller has opened a 1,900 square foot store in Glasgow’s Silverburn shopping destination, next to the Hugo Boss outlet. It follows what the firm said had been a successful pop-up at the destination at Christmas.
As well as selling premium spirits, beers and merchandise, Eden Mill said the new outlet will offer customers an “immersive in-store shopping experience”, allowing them to touch and smell the botanicals used to make its gins. Brand ambassadors will be on hand to recommend products based on consumers’ tastes, whether they are new or experienced gin drinkers.

Eden Mill’s Euan Kinninmonth said: “We are delighted to open the doors today to our new flagship Eden Mill store in Silverburn, joining a host of brilliant premium brands in the centre.
"The shop brings a taste of S. Andrews to Glasgow, as we eagerly anticipate the opening of our £10m carbon neutral distillery next year.”
“The shop joins our store in St Andrews as a hint of what’s to come from our distillery and for customers its one step closer to the real thing, as they can come inside, discover our story, taste our drinks and even discover how they are made.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
