Ever tried a Japanese wine aged in “mizunara” oak? A small but growing number of wineries are maturing their wines in barrels made from native trees instead of using imported oak. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/02/06/food-drink/japanese-wine-aged-local-barrel-mizunara/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #alcohol #whisky #sake #fermentation

New Server. New #Introduction

I love #technology #music #reading and #whisky ( #Whiskey ).

I run #Linux on my main PC, and #Android on my phone and tablets.

I listen to a wide range on music primarily on #PlexAmp. A buy music on #bandcamp.

I read a book per week, mainly Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

I drink a large number of whiskies from all over the world, and have been known to make rambling posts about them.

I've been here since the very first #TwitterMigration but I was over at @stevenixon so there is a large post history over there!

Reading about the branding for Feddie whisky, which is funded entirely by women.

"The bottle features 750 dots, which was the number of investors at the time of production, and 521 dashes – one for every Fedje resident."

I've bought this whisky a few times and the packaging design certainly stands out on the shelf.
