Hopefully it doesn't take 100 years, like it took Nikka Whiskey, to become world class.

If it turns out as good as some of the Japanese Whisky that's available then it would worth investing in a bottle.

But that extra six months without alcohol will seem like forever. :-)

techall, this version is ethanol, not methanol, which is why they put wood alcohol in parentheses.

Sure, nothing wrong with drinking something that makes you blind (as in sightless).

I’ll be rooting for their success, and hoping that they aren’t barking up the wrong tree.

Most likely another pipe dream from a government-funded institute. Why is our tax money wasted on devising a weird, at-best niche market alcoholic beverage? Leave sake-making to the private sector.

The most disgusting way of making alcohol was the so called: latrine Brandy.

Pretty sure they made wood alcohol (methanol) during prohibition. Many died from the poisonous booze.

If beavers had a hanami, this wood be their drink of choice.

Not syure we need more ways to make booze.
although Simon, not sure also that the extra 6 months of life are worth not drinking.

Not a surprise. Alcohol can be produced from any plant material that ferments. Ask the jungle animals.
But making it palatable would require a somewhat degree of innovation and skill.
Good luck to them.
