Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Pale yellow, watery-creamy flesh with dominant bitterness and an alcoholic, cognac-like aftertaste.

A niche cultivar for lovers of bitter durian; the name alludes to the brandy-like note.

The flesh ferments noticeably as it ripens, heightening the alcoholic character.
