Description

Sweetdram was founded in 2014 by Andrew MacLeod Smith and Daniel Fisher, who met in 2011 while studying for their Master’s degrees in brewing and distilling. After the course, the pair kept in touch to flesh out an idea they had for a modern drinks brand focused entirely on original flavour instead of conventional categories and repetitive trends. In 2014, they started Sweetdram. Based inside a massive industrial warehouse in Edinburgh, the Sweetdram distillery is an immersive contemporary space and an exciting work-in-progress. The production room, located behind pink doors, houses their custom-made copper production still, whose unusual helical head produces a unique, intensely aromatic spirit. The rest of the site has been transformed into a non-profit events venue and community hub called 54EP. Dan and Andrew have also recently started a program to offer Heriot-Watt University brewing and distilling students valuable practical experience. Both Sweetdram and 54EP are proud sponsors of the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award and fervent supporters of the arts, creative and music sectors in Scotland.
