Edinburgh Gin – the multi-award-winning spirits brand – is announcing plans to invest in a new multi-million-pound distillery in Edinburgh city centre. The development includes acquisition of large-scale premises on East Market Street, in the heart of the city’s historic ‘Old Town’. The new distillery will invite visitors to embark on a journey through the history of gin-making alongside a sensory immersion into flavour, botanicals and distilling. Visitors will also have the chance to make their own gin as part of the Edinburgh Gin experience.
The new premises will enable Edinburgh Gin to welcome over 100,000 visitors through its doors each year.
First-stage plans for the three floor premises (total area is 1,357m2) include a glass-fronted entrance providing a street-side view of the state-of-the-art stills, a stunning rooftop terrace featuring Edinburgh Gin botanicals and private gin tasting rooms.

The expansion will see Edinburgh Gin increase production capacity by over 200% in line with continued demand.
The existing Edinburgh Gin Visitor Centre and Distillery is currently located at the West End and is ranked among the capital’s leading 5-star visitor attractions.
The planning process is now underway and further announcements and updates will be released over the coming months as the project progresses.
