Private investment firm Inverleith has acquired a majority stake in Scottish premium whisky and gin distiller Eden Mill St Andrews. Eden Mill produces Scottish craft gins and single malt scotch whisky, including flavoured and heritage gins, as well as its 'hip-flask' whisky series. The investment from Inverleith will enable the company to expand its distribution in the UK and internationally. The company also plans to build a new carbon-neutral distillery located on the University of St Andrews Eden Campus. Paul Miller, Eden Mill's managing director and founder, said: "We have been looking for an investor who shares our passion for the Eden Mill opportunity, who understands the uniqueness of the opportunity and is aligned to our vision. With their consumer strategic brand and commercial expertise, I am confident that we have found the right partner to take drive and support the next and most significant stage of the Eden Mill journey. I’m looking forward as managing director to working closely with the team at Inverleith."
