Lex,
Red Bull is one of several distilleries owned by the 'ThaiBev', one of
Thailands largest companies. Red Bull produces the following whisky brands
(AFAIK)
Crown 99 (Blended with scotch malts)
Blend 285 (Blended with scotch malts)
Blue (Blended with scotch malts)
The filler is a local distillate derived from distilling various kinds of
grains, such as rice, glutinous rice, maize. And, yes, malt may also occur
in the mash bill. However, I am pretty sure that the filler does not
contain 100% malt. The filler, in all three instances are matured on oak
casks for a minimum period of two years.
I would describe the versions as 'blended' whiskies.. Not malt whiskies.
Let me also take the opportunity to erase a misunderstanding regarding
'Mehkong' and other related 'Thong' brands. They are NOT I repeat NOT
marketed by the brand owner ThaiBev as whiskies but as 'Thai Rums' !!!!!

Hi all
Got an e-mail from someone saying that the Red Bull / Thai Bev distillery in
Thailand distils from 100% malted barley. Can anyone confirm or repute this?
slainte, Lex
