A distillery in St Andrews has launched the region's first whisky in over 160 years.

Eden Mill, which became Scotland's first joint brewery and distillery in 2014, has just released their first single malt expressions, using an innovative, experimental approach.

The new dram will be the first to be distilled in the area since the Seggie Distillery closed in 1860.

Toasting its milestone malt, Eden Mill are giving whisky fans a chance to own a piece of history with the release of 3800 20cl bottles as part of the Hipflask Series.

Eden Mill co-founder Paul Miller said: "St Andrews has a rich history when it comes to whisky, and now we're picking it up where it left off - on the site of the old Seggie Distillery that Eden Mill now stands on.

"Each expression in the Hip Flask Series contains liquid matured in what we call 'honey casks' - first-fill and virgin oak casks that we've hand-selected from all around the world, from Speyside to Spain."

The launch of the whisky follows the announcement of Eden Mill's expansion to a new £4m distillery and brewery just metres from its current headquarters in Guardbridge.
