New distillery will offer a glimpse into the making of gins.

Edinburgh Gin will open the doors to its brand-new distillery on Friday 6 December. Located at The Arches on East Market Street in Edinburgh, this gin distillery will now produce all Edinburgh Gin. 

It’s built upon the site of the historic Trinity Church, where the roots of botanical exploration were first planted centuries ago. The new distillery is home to preserved features including historic arches and exposed brickwork, as well as new additions such as floor-to-ceiling windows, a roof terrace, bar, and two bespoke copper stills. 

The distillery will offer a programme of four distinct immersive experiences. From The Classic Tour & Tasting, to The Gin Making Experience, the all-new distillery experiences will showcase the excellence and craftsmanship. 

Led by the brand’s expert Distillery Ambassadors, visitors on each experience will receive a unique glimpse into Edinburgh’s role in the history of gin, and the opportunity to fully immerse their senses by exploring the flavours, aromas, textures and tastes that contribute to the brand’s signature gins. 

Committed to producing premium gin in a sustainable way, this new distillery obtains all its energy from 100% renewable electricity and will therefore be operationally carbon neutral. This comes following the brand’s new, eco-conscious packaging which now includes 49% recycled glass content across all formats, fully recyclable labels and case shippers, and removal of all secondary packaging across the core range.
