Worth it! - It was so much fun! Our host was so informative, and the offerings were tasty. It is a single gin maker tasting. 3 gins, one distillery. Good gin in a fun setting.

A charming hidden gem in Edinburgh - From the minute we entered the little side door down the steps near the Huxley hotel, we were totally charmed by this little tasting spot. We ended up having a private tasting as we were the only ones signed up that day. Robert was extremely knowledgeable about the brand and the many ingredients that go into each gin. We had a great time learning about it all. There was a welcome cocktail, three pours of their signature gins, and a final drink with our choice of favorite gin. The pours were generous and the final cocktails (we chose martinis) were expertly made. We wanted to buy all three but settled for just one, the very unique and delicious Golf Gin. We'd love to come back if we make it back to Edinburgh someday.

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!
