Based inside a massive industrial warehouse in Edinburgh, the Sweet­dram distillery is an immersive modern space and an exciting work-in-progress.

The production room, located behind pink doors, houses the custom-made copper pot still. Its unusual helical head, which acts with the partial rectifier to maximise reflux and remove all adverse base notes, helps create a unique, intensely-aromatic spirit.

The rest of the 13,000-square-foot site – currently unoccupied ­– is gradually being converted into a collaborative testbed, creative platform and events venue for the local community.

The distillery will soon be open for general tours. In the meantime, if you’re really keen and have a few pals who want to group together for a private tour then email us on [email protected].
