ith glass replacing ceramic as the preferred packaging medium, the new 70cl bottle for trade, along
with the existing 50cl size for retail, has seen online sales of Love Gin double since launch. The distiller has retained the traditional Eden Mill Love Gin ceramic bottle as an option to buy via its website. Eden Mill, Scotland’s first single-site
distillery and brewery, crafting gin, whisky and beer, opted to change the packaging of its stylish pink gin in response to trade and consumer feedback. The result is a new lightweight glass bottle, which is more easily recycled than its ceramic counterpart. And by using 18 per cent less glass than most other spirit bottles, it attracts a lower carbon footprint, helping Eden Mill to emphasise its sustainability commitment. From an aesthetic perspective, the crystal cut dimple effect ties into heritage of St Andrews and golf, replicating the style of bottle previously used on the Eden Mill distillery site back in the 1800s. An additional benefit of the design is that it provides much better pouring capability for the trade in mixing and serving drinks, as well as in stock taking. The bottle is complemented by a printed shield label design on the front and a white cork stopper as a closure.

Croxson, comments: “Eden Mill’s ceramic look is well established, but the switch to glass has been important, not least in delivering increased sustainability. As a new addition, the new 70cl size bottle will be well suited to the trade for volume serves, stock takes and ease of pour, while the traditional 50cl Love Gin version will continue to delight consumers.” Eden Mill and Croxsons are currently in collaboration on the development of a glass miniature Love Gin version, which will be used across the range in a variety of miniature packs.
