Eden Mill have a brand new product coming out on Monday 27 November – ‘Glory Glory Hibernian Dry Gin’!
The official Hibernian gin will join other mainstays of the Eden Mill brand such as Love Gin, Golf Gin, Oak Aged Gin and their Original Seabuckthorn Berry Gin – but you need to snap it up quick as it is a limited run with only 1000 bottles produced.
In October, our Official back of shirt sponsors Eden Mill gave Hibernian fans the chance to enter a competition to create a bespoke gin for the Club, alongside Head Coach Neil Lennon and midfielders Dylan McGeouch and John McGinn.
Supporters were invited to participate in an online Twitter competition where they were asked to Tweet their favourite memory of supporting Hibernian using the hashtag #HibsMemory and after high number of entries the two lucky winners were Mally Graveson and Lynsay MacDonald.
Mally and Lynsay were invited to Eden Mill’s newest venue, Blendworks at the Rusacks Hotel, St Andrews and working with their master distiller Neil, Dylan, John, Mally and Lynsay created the gin, choosing botanicals they thought were fitting to The Club and their own preference.
The new gin recipe was also inspired by the four elements of the club’s crest, with our Official Gin Sponsor Eden Mill distilling the gin following the competition for its release next week.
Named ‘Glory Glory Hibernian Dry Gin’, this spicy and citrus gin has notes of a tangy lime, ripe strawberry and black pepper. This gin has also been infused with grass from the Easter Road pitch, giving it an added Hibernian flavour.
