This state-of-the-art distillery will now produce every drop of Edinburgh Gin and is built upon the site of the historic Trinity Church.
The space is home to “painstakingly preserved” features including historic arches and exposed brickwork, as well as new additions such as floor-to-ceiling windows, a roof terrace, a bar, and two bespoke copper stills.
Finlay Nicol, distillery Manager at Edinburgh Gin said: “This launch is a true milestone for the brand, representing our relentless dedication to innovation and excellence in all things gin.
“We believe this is more than just a distillery, it’s a testament to our rich heritage, knowledge and commitment to sustainability, and our brand new stills alone are an embodiment of this.”
These new 2000L stills, named Annie and Lina after two of the first female gardeners to work at Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh in 1897, have been engineered in Germany by coppersmiths, Carl, and are said to represent the “epitome of craftsmanship and innovation” in the world of gin distillation.
