Meili Vodka
Meili (MAY-lee) Vodka is the embodiment of the spirit of exploration. Born out of the friendship between Jason Momoa and Blaine Halvorson and their mutual obsession with the process, craft, and the journey to construct something truly unique. Meili is the outcome of their journey to craft the best vodka on the planet - from the spirit to the bottle. It is crafted with unbreakable attention to quality, harnessing the power of the four elemental forces of fire, water, earth, and air — each forming the backbone of this vodka and symbolizing a different aspect of its unique character. The fire is the heart of the spirit, igniting the stills and imbuing the glass bottles with its fiery essence that’s reflected in their hand-textured appearance. The glass bottles, made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials, also serve as a testament to the brand's commitment to sustainability. The water, sourced from the purest 300 million-year-old aquifer, is the soul of the spirit, providing it with a crisp and supremely refreshing character. The body of Meili is drawn from the earth, where locally sourced and sustainably grown native and seasonal grains bring a bright and effortless flavor. Finally, the mountain air of Montana breathes life into the vodka, smoothing out the texture as it relaxes 11,000 feet above sea level.
