Eden Mill The Guard Bridge is a blended malt Scotch whisky from St Andrews, a blend of aged single malts including Eden Mill's own St Andrews single malt, selected and married by head distiller Scott Ferguson and bottled at 46% ABV.
The name is inspired by the original 15th-century, six-arched Guard Bridge that connected St Andrews with its old trading port of Guardbridge. A bridge is a connection between one thing and another, and by bringing different single malts together, Eden Mill has created a blended malt that combines the sweet, grassy and floral profile of the Lowlands with the robust, spicy and fruity flavours of Highland whiskies, joining north with south and past with present.
Eden Mill was founded in 2012 on the site of a historic paper mill at Guardbridge, on the banks of the River Eden in Fife, combining a brewery and distillery. Expect vanilla, ripe orchard fruit and soft cereal on the nose, toffee, green apple and gentle warming spice on the palate, and a clean finish of lingering vanilla and fruit.
A taste of St Andrews, it makes a fine gift for Scotch lovers.
Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water.
