We are delighted to bring you this very special release - Fire Horse by Eden Whisky.

This is a once in a lifetime release and we wanted to share with you why this 60 Year Zodiac Cycle Release is so special.

In the Chinese lunar calendar, each year is defined by a combination of a 12 year zodiac animal cycle and a five-element cycle. This year is the year of the Horse and the element of Fire - Fire Horse.

What makes this such a rare and highly symbolic moment within the zodiac is that this particular combination of the Fire Horse occurs only once every 60 years, the last time being 1966, making this release particularly special.

“Fire Horse was created at a time when Eden itself is embracing a new momentum. This spirit marks a new chapter for the distillery and the partnership between Jason and myself. Our shared view is that Eden releases should be built from great spirit, made with patience, and released only when it feels right.

“This release celebrates that alignment. Fire Horse carries Eden’s structure and balance, with great depth and presence, reflecting where we are now and where we are heading, and with a nod to Jason’s Chinese heritage. It is a whisky made to mark a moment, to be shared deliberately, and to recognise the confidence and trust behind this next phase of Eden.

“Fire Horse is a whisky for the moment. A special release that celebrates a rare and highly symbolic moment within the Chinese zodiac,” explains Dale.

The horse symbolises freedom, leadership, and forward momentum. The fire element represents energy, transformation, and bold spirit. 

Together, Fire Horse years are traditionally associated with decisive change, ambition, and strong forward movement.

This limited release honours that rare convergence, a whisky crafted not for every year, but for a moment that returns only once in a lifetime.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Burnt umber.

Nose: Black cherry and dark currant lead, followed by pipe tobacco and clove, settling into peppery base notes.

Palate: With a few drops of water, the esters open to reveal dark chocolate, clove, cracked black pepper, and stewed black plums.

Finish: Long and persistent, carrying across the full length of the back palate. Spicy peppers soften into rich caramelised citrus, finishing with a subtle hint of vanilla.
