Independent Scottish distiller Eden Mill has launched the latest whisky in its ‘Art of St Andrews’ series.
This annual release celebrates the spirit and landscape of Eden Mill’s coastal hometown and the artists inspired by its scenery.
The 2024 edition features artwork by Babs Pease, depicting University of St Andrews students in their red gowns, the cathedral, and local marine life.
The whisky is matured in Amarone red wine casks from Italy and sherry casks from Spain, giving it a deep copper colour and rich flavour profile of cinnamon spice, dark fruits, and oak spice.

The bottle will be available first in St Andrews at the Eden Mill store and local shops before its UK-wide release on 1st August.
Collectors can register online for early purchase, and a new ‘Art of St Andrews Tasting Experience’ is now offered at the Old Course Hotel.
Eden Mill’s new distillery, located seven minutes from St Andrews, will resume distillation later this year and open to tourists in spring 2025.
The brand also offers a gin and whisky experience at the Old Course Hotel, featuring three distinct tasting flights.
Hannah Ingram, Head of Marketing at Eden Mill, commented on the partnership: “With The Art of St Andrews release this year, we wanted to showcase familiar sights and scenes from our hometown that will be instantly recognisable for locals and tourists alike.
“From St Andrews cathedral and the iconic red gowns of the University students to the lone golfer chipping out of a bunker – there’s something for everyone.
“This stunning artwork is matched by a whisky with rich, red wine notes from the Amarone casks balanced with sherry sweetness.”
Babs Pease added, “I take a lot of my artistic inspiration from the towns and villages along the Fife coast, so it was great to capture the energy and history of St Andrews harbour with this commission.
“The vibrant red colour used in the students’ gowns is reflected by the red wine Scott used to mature this single malt whisky.”
‘The Art of St Andrews 2024’ is bottled at 46.5% ABV and retails for £150. Only 2,250 bottles have been produced in total, with the first 100 bottles sold online coming with a complimentary 5cl sample.
The whisky is now available at Eden Mill’s flagship Market Street shop and popular local whisky shops Luvians and Taste of Scotland.
The product will be available UK-wide via edenmill.com from 1 August.
Eden Mill’s soon-to-be-completed distillery, situated just seven minutes from St Andrews, will recommence distillation later this year and welcome tourists in spring 2025.
The brand recently unveiled a new gin and whisky experience in the five-star Old Course Hotel.
‘Eden Mill at the Old Course Hotel‘ is now open to the public and offers three distinct experiences: a Coastal Gin Flight, the Eden Mill Single Malt Flight, and the Art of St Andrews Tasting Experience.
