EVI Mission & Vision

Health and Wellness

We support local organic farmers that practice pesticide and chemical fertilizer-free farming methods that support the health and wellness of the people and the planet.  

Social Responsibility

As the planet has reached new levels of fragility due to pollution and abuse, we must maintain high levels of awareness and respect for our environment by insuring that all of the materials from packaging to production come from sustainable, environmentally-friendly resources.

Economic Viability

We strive to create and maintain a sound production process by using profitable yet innovative strategies.

Energy Efficiency

Our production point is ideal, which enables us to supply our spirits logistically using less energy and resources.

Environmental Stewardship

EVI Spirits is committed to environmental stewardship.  As an organic spirits industry pioneer, we intend to produce a superior — and sustainable product — while raising public and industry awareness about the value of social responsibility.  We realize the importance of not only creating a unique, sustainable product for our consumer, but also the value behind promoting a product which leaves the smallest footprint on our environment.

Allen Assil – Founder & CEO

A southern Californian native, Assil grew up in an environment that ingrained in him an appreciation for health and wellness, as well as an interest in environmental stewardship.  He decided to explore these areas further while at Arizona State University where he majored in Economics, minored in Business and concentrated in Sustainability.  At ASU, Assil was fortunate to study at the Department of Sustainability—the first department of its kind in the country.
During Assil’s travels in Australia through the Department of Sustainability, he became aware of the challenges facing our planet— many of which are caused by companies whose practices fail to respect the environment.  He realized he could combine his knowledge of business and environmental sustainability to form a company that would create products for its consumers in a responsible and ethical manner.
After college, Assil became an integrative part of the Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Scottsdale night club scenes, giving him innumerable and invaluable connections within the spirits and entertainment industries.
With his skills in contract negotiations, strategic business planning, marketing analysis, as well as his commitment to sound economic decision making, Assil plans to make EVI Spirits a leader in the sustainable business market.
In his free time, Assil enjoys travel, yoga, cinema and music— but what he values most is time spent with his family and friends.  Assil’s long-term career goal is to one day launch his own chain of sustainable boutique hotels.  For now, he is focused on pioneering a new standard in premium spirits.
