This sounds great.
Would you try it?

Just in time for this year’s durian season, a research group at the National University of Singapore’s Food Science and Technology Programme has announced that it has cultivated a clear durian wine with 6% alcohol. After three years of intensive research, the team is now looking for commercial partners to sell the beverage.

A 'wine' with an alcohol content of 6% ... ... no fun to be had there.

.

If the distillation process is refined, a proper 11-12% could be attained. Durian still remains to be an acquired taste.

Durian still remains to be an acquired taste.

That's debatable. I "acquired" it on the first taste.

The wine won't be smelly. Isn't the smell the main objection?

Good durian tastes like heavenly custard.

Of course I would try it. I love durian.

Have you tried Fernet-Branca?

Smells terrible and tastes terrible, but I like it.
