Eden Mill
distillery in St Andrews launch The
Guard Bridge, a blended malt containing
a mix of Eden Mill Single malts and
single malts hailing from both the
Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.
 Eden
Mill distillery, located in St Andrews,
has unveiled its latest creation in the
world of Scotch whisky: The Guard
Bridge, a finely crafted Blended Malt.
This blended malt Scotch whisky boasts a
natural colour and remains unaltered by
chill filtration. The whisky is a blend
of cherished Eden Mill single malt and a
thoughtfully curated collection of
single malts hailing from both the
Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.
Crafted under the watchful eye of Eden
Mill’s Head Distiller, Scott Ferguson,
this unique fusion of aged single malts
is said to showcase a harmonious
interplay of diverse and complementary
flavours. The result is a testament to
the careful sourcing and nurturing
process, resulting in a refined spirit
which has been bottled at what should be
a flavoursome strength of 46% ABV.
Scott said, "Our Blended Malt features
the delicate, grassy and floral flavour
characteristics of the Lowland single
malts, combined with the robust,
barley-sweet and dried fruit notes of
the Highland single malts, to create a
whisky that showcases the best of both
regions.
"This Blended Malt contains at least ten
single malts from across Scotland – one
of which has been aged for over eight
years – blended and married together and
finished in ex-Eden Mill single malt
casks – specifically ex-bourbon casks –
to create an exciting, versatile new
whisky of which we are incredibly
proud."
The whisky's name itself, The Guard
Bridge, draws inspiration from the
historic 15th-century Guard Bridge that
linked St Andrews to its former trading
hub, Guardbridge. The packaging design
takes cues from the mesmerising play of
colours found in the Eden Estuary's
tidal currents, with a palette of blues
and teals. This estuary serves as the
home for Eden Mill's new distillery and
visitor centre, a place where the brand
will continue its tradition of crafting
exceptional single malts and premium
gins.
The bottle label's central incision
mirrors the meandering course of the
River Eden as it gracefully navigates
through the Fife region, passing by
Guardbridge en route to its destination
in St Andrews.
The Guard Bridge has a RRP of £45 and
will be available from Eden Mill's
online shop.
