Sitting at a bar. Haven't had tequila in years. Thought I would give it another chance. I just cannot appreciate the taste... And I have tried all different kinds.
Odd? Probably. I guess I just have taste buds for whisky and rum. Anyone else share a similar feeling towards a specific type of liquor? I know this is GD but let's try to keep the alcohol filled purse swinging to a minimum Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Jose Cuervo crap or real tequila? Try some Hornitos or any of the better brands.

Still can't figure out cognac, and a friend just bought me another bottle.
I rank tequila up there with good whisky as some of what is best in life. |
|
I cannot do tequila. I've tried over and over and it always ends poorly.

College helps create these issues...

Liquor pretty much all tastes like fire to me (on the rocks anyway).
Beer on the other hand is actually enjoyable.

It literally feels like my mouth is on fire. I also can't do any food remotely spicey. Cold beer after a long day is very refreshing. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

My life improved when I stopped drinking liquor. Still have a beer once in a while, no booze.
|

Can't do Jack Daniels, really the only one that I "enjoy" is Jager.
|
|
I love bourbon, American rye and tequila.
I like gin. Canadian whiskey is okay. I don't care for rum or Jack Daniels. I don't get the point of vodka. I hate Scotch and Irish whiskey. |

Actually, my biggest problem in life is that I love ALL liquor, far, far too much.
I can guzzle anything, straight, from the bottle, no sweat, no puking. |

Love Bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, most rum, and good tequila now and then.
Don't really care for Canadian whiskey, and can't stand scotch. |

I owned 2 liquor stores back in the early 90's late 80's. Never been big on any liquors unless I was in just the right frame of mind. Always been a beer drinker myself with an occasional shot of liquor to speed the process. |

View Quote I think a lot of Bourbon guys get turned off to Scotch because some jackass thinks they will love Laphroaig, Ardbeg, or Lagavulin the same way they do. Those suck for beginner scotches. Dalmore 12, Achentoshan 10, Glenmorangie 10, and a few other Highland/Speysides are a good first. Islands, west highlands, and Islays are a piss poor place to start. |

I would love to tip glasses with someone knowledgeable with good scotch. Too expensive to just experiment in a decent pub to find you don't care for a selection, and most barkeeps around here think Johnny Walker is top shelf. Most scotch I have tried seems scorched to me, and leaves a cardboard kind of aftertaste. |

Anything flavored.
Jagger, schnapps, liquoures, I can't drink any of that shit. Tastes like medicine. |
|
|
Gin or Whiskey is my favorite.
Can't stand Scotch, or Mezcal. Don't like Jag or any of those other boutique sweet liquors. Most every thing else is good to go. |
|
Rum. It is disgusting god awful swill. Not even worthy of a bottle.
Give me my bourbon and whiskey. |
|
|
Another vote for gin, and Cuervo to me tastes like whiskey that has been filtered through dirty gym socks.
|
|
Vodka..... yuk! got sick on it as a kid and the smell of it still makes my stomach turn |
