Alcohol-free spirit

Alcohol-free spirits, as we understand them, are not diluted distillates or products that have been dealcoholized after the fact. They are created through craftsmanship, not by removing or simply replacing ingredients.

Their depth comes from maceration, distillation, and – depending on the recipe – also fermentation. Botanicals, woods, and spices are extracted, distilled, or smoked in several steps until structure and tension are present in the glass: bitterness, acidity, warmth, and length.

This is how spirits with character are created – crafted from herbs, fruits, and wood, not from alcohol. Sometimes earthy and dark, sometimes fresh and citrusy, sometimes dry and spicy. Designed for lasting rituals – and drinks that make a statement.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Imagine this: I sniff the glass, my eyes widen, and I exclaim, "Whaaaaaat???" I simply couldn't believe what I was smelling. AYACUCHO has an incredibly intense aroma of Huacatay (South American black mint), fruity, spicy, minty, and fiery. This homage to South America can be used for an interpretation of the "Pisco Sour" cocktail, but also perfectly for Margaritas. As I write these sentences, I keep pausing to smell the pure spirit – it sets new standards for the world of non-alcoholic spirits.

A.I.R. - Ayacucho BEHIND THE SCENE'S

PRODUCTION

For AYACUCHO, A.I.R. distills huacatay and other South American-inspired botanicals individually on a water basis. The hydrolates are then combined to create a clear, aromatically dense blend. This preserves the distinctive spice power of huacatay precisely: minty and herbaceous, with fruit, warmth, and a fiery edge.

MORE ABOUT A.I.R. DISTILLATIONS

A.I.R. Distillations was founded in Antwerp in 2018 by Alexander Scott Jones, Ina Simone Averhals, and Ruben Van Aken. They cultivate botanicals on their own fields, which they distill individually using water-based methods. These clear hydrolates are then transformed into non-alcoholic spirits with precise aromatics and culinary depth – created for bars, restaurants, and individuals who appreciate drinks as an integral part of the dining experience.
