The word ALTOGETHER can mean several things like “in total”, “completely”, and “all things considered”. Somehow, a more perverse meaning has also crept into the lexicon wherein the word can refer to one’s complete nakedness. 

ALL TOGETHER describes “all in a group being in one place at the same time”. Thus, we can use the words as such:  The bottles of whiskey were placed all together in one cabinet.

The former is used to describe an object or an event or a situation in its "omnibus-ness" whilst the latter is a mere physical description that several things are all in one place in a certain area.
