Jason Momoa and his best mate, Blaine Halvorson, craft vodka from pure Montana water sourced from a 300-million-year-old aquifer and native grains grown on their own farms. Distilled just once to preserve the character of the water and grain, Meili is gluten-free certified and refuses to be neutral.
Two rebels rejecting the industry playbook to make vodka their way – sounds familiar.
Our Story
Let’s start by prefacing – we didn’t like vodka, nor did we drink it!
To us, VODKA SUCKED, it was an ingredient, not a spirit!
We both enjoyed sipping spirits like mezcal, whiskey, and scotch but recognized a glaring void in vodka. It needed DEPTH.
We wanted to change the perception of vodka and give it life, story and foundation – and, let’s be honest, we wanted to create something we LOVED to drink!
Determined to reinvent the spirit, we spent NINE YEARS immersed in research and dedication to the craft, doing things our way. The result was MEILI – and we’re excited to share it with you.
So, let’s raise a glass to this incredible AWARD-WINNING spirit. You may not believe in UNICORNS – (we didn’t either) but MEILI proved they are REAL!
