Meili Vodka is a joint venture between Jason Momoa and fashion designer Blake Halvorson, and one that has apparently been in the works for over seven years.
Meili (MAY-lee, roughly translating to 'beautiful' or 'loved one') is a grain-based, single distillation spirit, distilled using water sourced from a 300-million-year-old aquifer that feeds into natural springs in Montana. Their bottles are made "perfectly imperfect" using 100% recycled material repurposed from vast mountains of broken, discarded glass, meaning that every bottle is unique and no two will look the same.
Mineral-rich and savoury, with an oat-laced style that’s ultra-smooth and designed to be enjoyed neat or over ice, or fits in perfectly to a Vodka Martini or Mule recipe.
Red fruits, spice and slightly gamey, smokey flavour. Tannins add a bit of structure but still soft. Finish is tart red fruit. Lots of flavour but won't overwhelm most meals. Great with aged cheeses.
