Kings County Distillery is a highly acclaimed craft distillery in New York City, known for producing award-winning whiskeys such as Bourbon, Peated Bourbon, and Empire Rye. They use only their own whiskey and never sell whiskey from other sources, with all production done onsite in Brooklyn. Their whiskeys have received recognition from various organizations and publications and are made using a blend of distilling practices from different cultures. Starting as the smallest commercial distillery in the US, Kings County is now located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and named the American Distilling Institute's Distillery of the Year in 2016.

Before “white whiskey,” there was moonshine, otherwise known as whiskey before it is aged in a barrel—though the word can also mean any illegally-made spirit. Ours is a corn whiskey made from 80% New York State organic corn and 20% malted barley. It is double distilled and reduced to a smooth, drinkable 80 proof. Bright with a sweet slap of corn, this is our take on a classic American whiskey. We began making whiskey on the premise that unaged whiskey, like other unaged, full-flavored spirits from around the world like silver tequila, white rum, or grappa, can be delicious even before it hits the barrel. This whiskey best expresses our ambitions as distillers and can be considered the starting point for many of our more conventional whiskeys. 

MEILI IS MORE THAN VODKA

The essence of Meili emanates from fire, water, earth, and air.
‍Every element is purveyed with quality and character in mind.
‍The perfection within the process.

FIRE
The heart of our spirit, fire, not only powers our stills - but also refines our beautifully unique glass.
‍Our flame burns twice as bright - indefinitely, due to Meili's 100% post-consumer recycled bottle. Vast mountains of broken, discarded glass are heated to molten masses, reborn, and repurposed into something functional and exquisite.
‍This is why no two bottles are alike. The antique texture, full of organic imperfections, and the stunning Georgia green hue.
‍An appropriate vessel for our outstanding spirit.

WATER
The soul of our spirit, water, is the essence of our existence. Instinctively, we sought one of the purest water sources available.
‍An ancient aquifer formed over 300 million years ago ushers alpine snow and rainfall through miles of vast underground caverns - filtering and infusing itself through the veins of natural springs.
‍Meili takes pride in using this “living water” to distill and proof our spirits to bottle, resulting in an incredibly refreshing, unpolluted, and genuinely remarkable flavor.
‍Our regenerative water source is considered one of the purest on Earth by EPA standards.

EARTH
The body of our spirit is derived from the earth.
‍A harmonious marriage of native and seasonal grains brings a bright, smooth, and effortless flavor profile.
‍Our grains are sourced locally on our own farms, operated by the same family for generations. These farms are located centrally to our water source and distillery, resulting in the smallest carbon footprint possible. A factor that is very important to us.
‍To honor the Earth, we ensure that Meili is created, sourced, and produced as ethically, environmentally friendly, and humanely as possible.

AIR
The final "breath of life" into our spirit is air.
‍From beginning to end, Montana's crisp, cool mountain air influences our vodka and its ingredients in several unique ways.
‍The 11,000-foot elevation at our aquifer's peak allows alpine snow and rainfall to remain untainted before its subterranean journey to the collection source.
‍At the final distillation stage, our vodka is set to rest and breathe before bottling, resulting in a smoother flavor profile.

SUSTAINABILITY
We take the broken and make it whole. We transform the discarded into the desired.
‍This is recycling reimagined. Resurrected from the blaze, our handmade glass radiates new life from the ashes of the old. Designed through determination, true beauty contains imperfections. Look for them as a testament to our story. To not use the cheapest, most accessible glass available - but to create something better. Seek the unique, lead by example. Our message lies within every bottle.
Our vision lives through our glass. This is real sustainability.

TWO BROTHERS CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH

We've always shared an obsession with the process, the craft - the ethos behind it all. How something is constructed and what makes it unique. A creation that possessed the best elements of each of us. Seven years ago, we embarked on the journey to create Meili together. To not only tell our story but to bring others along with us; to craft the best vodka on the planet - from spirit to bottle.

Meili gave us that opportunity, and we're thrilled to share that with you.

FÉLIX RAMÍREZ MENDEZ

YOGANA, EJUTLA, OAX.

The village of Yogana is located at the southern end of the Ejutla district of Oaxaca. Like all of his neighbors, Félix is a full-time farmer. Unlike many of his neighbors, Félix is also a part-time mezcalero, working with several species of agave that he plants between rows of seasonal crops, and distills on equipment unique to Ejutla that allow his spirits can reach proof in a single pass. We first met Félix, when we stopped at his wife’s store, and he offered us a pour of espadín he had in an old olive oil bottle.

This Calvados XO (also known as Vieille Réserve 8 years) follows the strict Calvados AOC Pays d'Auge guidelines that require double-distillations in a traditional copper pot still called an "alembic á repassé." The fermented cidre that is used for making Calvados (called calvados cidre) is fermented for 12 months in hundred-year-old oak barrels before being distilled. After distillation, the resulting spirits are put in oak barrels once again and aged for a minimum of eight years. The cellar master then blends Calvados aged from eight to eleven years old to produce this Calvados XO.
