Pixel Spirits, the first craft distillery in Lochaber, opened its doors in 2017 and has won various internatio­nal awards with their Highland craft gin and rum, all distilled and bottled by hand in North Ballachuli­sh. They create smooth and delicious spirits with full, vibrant flavours that are not lost in mixers or cocktails. These are true premium spirits, made using the finest ingredient­s; no sugar or artificial colourings are added, even their fruit is peeled by hand and dehydrated in-house. Founded and run by a husband and wife team this small distillery also offers Gin & Rum School classes where you spend an afternoon with the Master Distiller learning about the production and recipe developmen­t and distill your own bottle of gin or rum! Their signature range includes Devil's Staircase Highland spiced gin, named after part of the West Highland Way in Glencoe, as well as Drookit Piper Highland citrus gin with fresh summery flavours of pomelo, lime and lemon. In 2020 Pixel Spirits launched their limited edition Artisan Range which also includes White Rum and Golden Rum, they are one of the very few distilleri­es making rum from scratch in Scotland, fermenting, distilling and ageing it themselves! This year Pixel Spirits’ newly released White Rum was the overall style winner of un-aged column & pot distilled rum in one of the biggest and most prestigiou­s industry awards, Internatio­nal Wine and Spirits Competitio­n. True local gem for all gin & rum lovers!
