FROM THE EDITORS DESK: WINTER 2025
By MICHAEL MAYNOR
For years, Feathers & Whiskey has been a haven for storytelling, a celebration of the Southern spirit, and a window to global adventures. What began as a humble blog evolved into a bold leap with our Africa Edition. But today, we present Feathers & Whiskey as it was always meant to be – a true magazine, crafted with care and intention, where the richness of the South meets the thrill of the world beyond.

This inaugural issue of our seasonal magazine is more than pages bound together – it’s a labor of love, a testament to who we are, and a glimpse into where we’re headed. Why start in winter? Some might expect spring, a season of renewal, to mark this beginning. But winter, with its quiet resilience and its call for reflection, offers the perfect moment to pause, gather, and share the stories that bind us. Like a fire crackling against the cold, this issue is here to warm your spirit and spark your sense of adventure.
Inside, you’ll find what makes Feathers & Whiskey unique: Southern Roots, Global Adventure. From tales of heritage and craft to journeys that span continents, we’ve curated content to inspire and connect. As the wind howls outside, let these stories transport you to places both familiar and new.
Welcome to Feathers & Whiskey.
Wildly Refined.
