AN independent Scottish distiller picked up one of the top accolades and a pair of gold medals as part of this year’s Global Spirit Masters.
Eden Mill St Andrews was awarded the Master medal during this year’s Design & Packaging Masters for its “Art of St Andrews” collection.
Meanwhile, a separate product – The Guard Bridge – was awarded silver while the distillery’s Love Gin and Golf Gin were both given a gold medal in The Gin Masters 2023.
Both competitions are part of the Global Spirits Masters - which rates and rewards excellence in spirits production and first launched in 2018.
For this year’s Art of St Andrews release – which features in a series of annual expressions designed to celebrate local artists – Eden Mill joined forces with Fife-based illustrator to design a bespoke art creation celebrating the silhouette of Eden Mill’s new distillery building.
The design of the Guard Bridge packaging (below) meanwhile is inspired by the tidal ebb and flow of the Eden Estuary – the site of Eden Mill’s new distillery and visitor centre.
Head of marketing at Eden Mill Hannah Ingram said: “For the design of two of our new products to be recognised in these awards is a fantastic achievement for Eden Mill.
“The packaging and bottle design of both The Guard Bridge and Art of St Andrews 2023 were meticulously thought through and are intrinsically linked with our hometown and its surrounding areas.
“I must also thank and congratulate Jill for her wonderful Art of St Andrews design. Her bespoke art creation is truly beautiful, reimagining the stunning scenery, animals and nature of our hometown and its surrounding areas.”
Head distiller Scott Ferguson added: “We’ve worked extremely hard over the years to amplify our gin range, so to be awarded gold for two of our products is wonderful.
“We hope the awards highlight the quality and flavour of our gins to our existing supporters and new ones too.”
