Following a successful partnership in 2024, independent distiller Eden Mill has today announced a two-year extension to their deal with the Genesis Scottish Open which will see them continue as the ‘Official Gin’ of the tournament for the 2025 and 2026 events.
Held at the prestigious Renaissance Club just outside North Berwick, the stunning location is set in 300 beautiful acres along the Firth of Forth on Scotland’s world-famous “Golf Coast”. Held from the 9 – 13 July, the tournament will welcome some of the biggest names in golf, including Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and last year’s champion, Scotland’s very own Robert MacIntyre.
Originating from the Home of Golf, Eden Mill recently revealed a new look for one of their core products, Golf Gin, which is now distilled using botanicals foraged from the hallowed Old Course at St Andrews. At the Eden Mill Gin Bar near the sixth hole, the brand will be helping fans get into the swing of things with a delicious G&Tee and their popular pink expression, Love Gin, will also be available in a spritz serve, paired with pink grapefruit soda and fresh raspberries.
Commenting on the partnership, Rennie Donaldson, chief executive officer at Eden Mill, said: “The Genesis Scottish Open is a standout event in the golfing calendar and we are delighted to continue our partnership for a further two years. From our distillery in St Andrews to the imminent opening of the new visitor centre and foraging botanicals from the Old Course for our Golf Gin, we have a truly authentic connection to the sport and are focused on bringing Eden Mill to even more golf fans around the world.”
Rory Colville, Genesis Scottish Open Championship director, added: “The Genesis Scottish Open continues to go from strength to strength, with an incredibly strong field of players matched by impressive staging that is befitting of a Rolex Series event. We are always on the lookout for partners that can further elevate the fan experience and Eden Mill’s excellent range of gins and on-site activations are doing just that. We’re delighted that they will be partnering with us for the next two editions of the tournament.”
Eden Mill’s new distillery became operational in April, with both gin and single malt whisky now being distilled on-site. Their visitor centre will open its doors to the public in August and will offer a range of gin and whisky experiences to guests, as well as a top-floor cocktail bar, an extensive retail space and a golf simulator to enable visitors to stay and play.
