Possibly one of Exeter’s most infamous locally made spirits, Rob Lothian has donned his lab coat once again to produce his flagship Apple Pie Moonshine.

This dreamy, spiced apple spirit used to be made in the rafters above The Fat Pig pub in Central Exeter. Opened initially by Hamish Lothian, not only was it the UK’s first commercial micro-distillery, he also distilled Exeter’s very first 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.

Exeter Distillery, nestled in the heart of the picturesque English countryside, is a distillery steeped in history and expertise. With a commitment to quality and an unwavering dedication to their craft, Exeter Distillery has gained a reputation for producing exceptional spirits. Rob painstakingly selects the finest ingredients and employ time-honoured techniques to ensure each bottle of their moonshine is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence.

The process of creating Bad Fagin’s Apple Pie Moonshine is a harmonious blend of art and science. Handpicked, sun-ripened apples are carefully pressed to extract their purest juices, which are then fermented to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and complexity. This exquisite base is then infused with a secret blend of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove, adding a warm and comforting dimension to the spirit. The result is a harmonious marriage of crisp apple notes and a rich, spiced undertone that dances on the palate.
