Meili Vodka

Meili was born from frustration. Co-founders Jason Momoa and Blaine Halvorson spent nine years researching and developing a vodka they actually wanted to drink—one with depth, character, and story. Dissatisfied with conventional vodka's role as a mere ingredient, they set out to reinvent the category entirely. Drawing inspiration from exploration and nature, they sourced pristine spring water from a 300-million-year-old Montana aquifer and proprietary organic grains from local farms. Rather than pursuing multiple distillations to strip away character, Meili employs a single, carefully controlled distillation to preserve the natural richness of its ingredients. The result is an award-winning spirit that challenges vodka conventions, packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled glass with a distinctive green hue. Meili represents a modern approach to premium spirits—one that honors craftsmanship, sustainability, and genuine flavor.

Single distillation in column stills using pristine Montana spring water from a 300-million-year-old aquifer. Water sourced according to EPA standards for purity. Proprietary organic grains from Montana farms provide the base. The single-distillation approach preserves grain character and natural complexity rather than stripping flavors through multiple passes.
