The St Andrews-based Eden Mill Distillery has announced the launch of its latest limited-edition Art of St Andrews release.

The Eden Mill Art of St Andrews 2025 Edition (46.5% ABV) is a single malt Scotch whisky, initially matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels before being further aged in Amontillado sherry casks.

This latest release in their annual series draws inspiration from the very beginning of the Eden Mill story. Long before the first spirit flowed, Eden Mill began life as a brewery. Their first-ever beer, The Clock, brewed using Brown Crystal malt, was an instant success.

Determined to translate this distinctive flavour profile into a single malt, Head Distiller Scott Ferguson began experimenting in 2018. He distilled a spirit using the same Brown Crystal malt and matured it in first-fill Bourbon barrels. Earlier this year, in preparation for this release, the whisky was re-racked into Amontillado sherry casks to impart a sophisticated, nutty finish.

The Eden Mill Art of St Andrews 2025 Edition is said to deliver notes of malty toasted biscuit sweetness and freshly baked bread on the nose, followed by creamy, nutty sherry notes on the palate, reminiscent of almond frangipane.

To capture the spirit of this journey, Eden Mill collaborated with local artist Deborah Phillips. Known for her vibrant and evocative style, Phillips was commissioned to create bespoke artwork for the 2025 bottle and presentation box.

Deborah’s vivid depiction of the completed distillery is set against a hopeful sunrise. Framed by botanicals and flowers, she pressed real leaves into the canvas, anchoring the dreamlike composition in the land itself. Vivid splashes of gold evoke morning light you can almost feel and a sea breeze you can almost taste.

Commenting on the launch, Scott Ferguson, Head Distiller, said: “This release is particularly special to us – the Brown Crystal malt is a nod to our first-ever beer, and we’re toasting to our new home on the estuary. The Amontillado finish provides the perfect nutty balance to the malt’s natural sweetness. The tasting profile is ideal for the celebratory season – rich, decadent and warming.”

The Art of St Andrews 2025 Edition is now available from the distillery website, for a RRP of £150.00.
