About All Y’all Spirits
An adventure in cocktails
It all started at a party…
All Y’all began in the early 2000s just as the “cocktail revolution” in the US was getting started.
The excitement of tasting these re-discovered classic cocktails led me to expand my tastes and try new varieties of liquors and spirits across many categories.
Being a maker at heart, soon there were experiments of infusion…some more successful than others. Eventually it led to ordering exotic barks and spices for creating a personal variety of bitters, and the idea that you aren’t limited only to the flavors of the brands and offerings available at the liquor store.
A chance conversation with a friend gave me a new idea. Her family had been producing Lemoncello on their farm for generations using a family recipe and it made me want to try something similar. We don’t grow lemons, but my brother-in-law happened to have a calamondin tree. The fruit is a cross between a mandarin orange and a kumquat, a very tart, almost bitter interior but with a sweet orange skin. A bit of research on recipes for making Lemoncello led to the first batch of “Cala-cello”, a delightful liqueur we still make each year. That first successful experiment in using local fruit to create a new product opened my eyes to the potential of creating other types of spirits.
In December 2017 a dinner at a local restaurant provided my first taste of Nocino, a black walnut flavored liqueur. During my conversation with the bartender, she explained that they made it in house…and I had a new goal. Coincidentally, a good friend and fellow imbiber (who’s also a DIY maker) had a similar experience tasting Nocino at about the same time. As luck would have it, he also owns a beautiful farm in West Georgia that just happened to have a number of healthy, nut producing Southern Black Walnut trees on the property.
It was official: we’d research Nocino and be ready to harvest the immature nuts the summer of 2018 and craft our first batch. That initial batch was surprisingly good and the inaugural release of our first official product, Carpe Noctem Nocino™.
This chain of strangely coincidental events set me on the path to continue exploring and expand the variety of products produced, and to the creation of All Y’all Spirits. AYS became the platform for further discovery and experimentation to develop a family of unique products, each with the goal of providing a new local expression of taste to be experienced and enjoyed by All Y’all!
