Is it possible to ferment whisky from durian and malt?

This year, a company launched the so-called "durian whisky" in Singapore, and its packaging is marked with durian and malt as raw materials, and it seems that durian and malt can be fermented to make whisky, but it is not.

If you look at the encyclopedia, you can see that the definition of whisky is this: according to Singapore law, whisky must be made from grains, aged in oak barrels, and must have an alcohol content of at least 37%. However, this durian whisky launched in 2019 does not meet these standards, firstly it does not go through the process of ageing in oak barrels, and secondly, the alcohol content of this whisky is only 18%, which is far less than the 37% required by Singapore lawSo by definition, this durian whisky can't be considered whiskey at all.

In other words, this durian whisky is simply a durian-flavored alcoholic drink under the guise of this, nothing more. Because according to the production process published on the official website of the production company, it can be known that durian is not involved in the fermentation process of this whisky, but just uses malt as the fermentation raw material like ordinary whisky, and then adds durian pulp to enrich the taste after fermentation and aging. Moreover, the color of this so-called "durian whisky" is yellow durian flavor, and the choice of durian is also the king of durian "Musang King", so those who like durian can try it, it is very worth a try.

As for whether durian and malt can be used as raw materials to ferment whisky, I can only say that it is not possible now, but in recent years, due to the popularity of durian, many merchants have seen such a business opportunity and studied many peripheral foods about durian.
