Aquired taste?

For sure it's aquired as are most alcohol tastes. Alcohol is poison, so it's natural I think for the first response to be negative.

Less the alochol (beer & wine) the easier to get use to.

You take that back, how dare you insult alcohol


Liquor in general can take an acquirement period but, in my eyes, Scotch maybe more than others. I have been known to have a drink of whiskey here and there and I almost always enjoy it neat; however, the peat taste in some Scotch can be overwhelming for me.

A helpful tip, I learned somewhere, is to smell your liquor three times. This actually works with any alcohol, beer included. The first sniff will only bring the smell of alcohol, but each sequential step your nose will get used to the alcohol and start to pick up other aromas and flavors. Then as you start to sip you will most likely pick up more of those flavors on your palette
