Product Information

Karen Skerratt opened a pop-up gin bar in Exeter after a successful foray into the street food market sector. Through talking with customers and some market research, she identified a great need in the market for a local gin and thus established, Exeter Gin. Crafted with passion and expertise, this artisanal moonshine pays homage to the legendary Fagin; a character known for his mischievous nature and love for the finer things in life. Just like its namesake, Bad Fagin’s Apple Pie Moonshine is a tantalising concoction that captures the essence of tradition and craftsmanship.

Tasting Note Three years on from my first interview with the owner of the UK’s smallest distillery Hamish Lothian is a happy man enjoying life and having fun experimenting with his stills and bringing an array of skillfully crafted spirits to us, he no longer runs the country’s smallest distillery since moving to new larger premises under the railway arches in Exeter’s St Thomas area.

After tasting Devon Gin, Hamish brings out a second gin not yet labelled so the cloudiness is clearly visible through the clear glass bottle. Cloudy Gins are not uncommon as the botanicals are full of essential oils (in particular the juniper berries and citrus peels) these oils dissolve during distillation and are held in the ethanol solution, when water is added (during the cutting process) the oils drop out of the solution causing a milky cloud, this is known as louching. Many distillers will try to avoid louching by controlling the botanicals or filtering (which can cause loss of delicate flavours) instead Hamish has embraced the louche effect and named this gin ‘Ghost’ – great! A cloudy spirit called Ghost is pretty inspired. The mere fact the recipe has double the juniper of his Devon Gin obviously contributes to the cloudiness, this recipe also includes liquorice and green anise, he explains that he’s still fine tuning it but I know this is going to be a sure hit. I won’t go into the whole process in this article – you’ll have to do a tour to find out – but they use different stills to most gin distilleries, which enables them to infuse many more flavours than you’ll find elsewhere.
