Cool! I recommend getting two bottles if they're cheap enough, as I'm convinced you won't like it right off the bat, and I AM here to tell you that most ALL, including myself, grow to really like it.

Report back if you follow through! :thumbsup:

The boss' daughter's boyfriend is Greek, and when I was trimming the pin oak, we got to talking about Greek stuff; especially related to trees. Tears of Chios, which I have, and retsina, which I've heard about, but never got to try. He said he'd get me a couple bottles, and when I got back from a job today, they were sitting on my desk. It's a wine resinated with pine pitch. It's pretty good, and milder than I thought it would be. Tastes like a dry white wine with a bit of a bitter herbal backbone. Pretty nice :^)

This which a I a few months ago.
Nothing good about it.

I lived on Crete for more than 5 months. At first, I couldn't stand it; it tasted like turpentine. But it really, really grew on me. My experience among my fellow first-worlders was not unique in this respect.

I promise anyone that's willing to try it you will swear off drinking for the rest of your life. Jeppson"s Malort hands down the worst ever. Go online and look up the reviews of what it tases like. Here is 1 review... It's like if shame and regret were left to ferment before being distilled through an old, sweaty shoe.

That's one I'd like to try just for the experience, but I'd prefer investing in a mini or flask size bottle instead of 750ml.

Had a really "Nice" Chinese Motai once for Chinese New years.

It's a sorghum spirit that is fermented in pits lined with grass and dirt and *that is exactly what it tastes like*.

I would actually say the version I had wasn't bad after knocking back a few, although at 50% ABV the stuff will knock you off your rocker after just a shot or two so who knows what I was tasting after a while, but holy hell my first drink was like getting tackled headfirst into a damp football pitch with the mouth open.

Brandy, though can't stand most liquor. Love good quality beer though, especially IPA and stouts.

Now I wanna try this.

It's not bad honestly. The reason people hate it is because they drink it incorrectly. In Chicago, where Malort started, the tradition was that people would take a whole shot of it at once. Malort is much better used as a cordial in a mixed drink than as the drink itself. People generally don't take shots of chartreuse, benedictine, or grand mariner. If they did, they would say those things were disgusting too. We are starting to see some of the leading cocktail bars in Chicago use it to make actual tasty drinks.

7 Malört cocktails that prove Chicago’s notoriously bitter liqueur can actually taste good

I hear your collective shudder, Chicago, but hear me out: Malört cocktails are good. Despite your protests, I know there are others out there like me: those who have repeatedly held back sighs…

I tasted an ultra sweet port wine that was, to me, disgusting, many years ago. None since.

Anything with diet juice/soda in it.

According to a vomiting girl at a Beach Boys "Endless Summer" concert, Sloe Gin is one to avoid.

Cool necro, never saw this one. I used to drink Tequila, but only the silver type. I would say the Anejo kind would especially gross me out now. Other than that I think fruit flavored spirits in general.

Years ago, I drank way too much Southern Comfort as a teenager. I never went near it again but that is a little different. It went down fine, at first lol

I used to roadie for a band in the 70s. The best set they ever did was after they each had a shot of Southern Comfort. Why they had the bottle I will never know.

Err no. It's fermented in urns. The seal is mud, but the lid covers the neck of the urn so the mud is nowhere near the liquid. Besides, it gets distilled afterwards anyway.

I made a dark rum and Coke Zero mix that was very good.

- Hmmm, probably just mind pollution then with my brain making up the fermenting process based on the taste. Could have sworn I confirmed it somewhere as well, might have been one of the many Baijiu variants.

All I can say is it was relatively expensive and tasted like grass and dirt.

I'm something of a musician myself, so I'm going to guess that they had the bottle because they liked drinking.

If it is distilled, how would you get those tastes? Especially it's like 50 percent alcohol.

 

[lxskllr]

It doesn't take much to flavor spirits. The whole process affects the flavor of the end product.

 

[sdifox]

Yeah but the mud never touched the liquid...

 

[lxskllr]

Doesn't have to. Islay whisky tastes like the ocean cause all the materials come from near the ocean, and it's aged in barrels near the ocean. The actual ocean never touches the whisky, but it still tastes like it.

 

[sdifox]

Oh well, not like I drink the stuff anyway.
