Certainly depends on what you've already tried. Since your pallette will be different to anyone else's, just saying "liquor" by itself is too vague to base any further opinions on desu

Liquor is not an acquired taste. From 13 onward I've always loved it. I think it's genetic.

>>17362821
yes, but you dont do that by spending $50 on every bottle
well you can but you dont need to
drink a few ~$20 to $30 bottles first, these are good enough to be enjoyable, but dont break the bank
These allow you to get used to the base line of the spirit, what it should taste like
Ex:
Boubon: Makers Mark, Four Roses, Old Forester, Wild Turkey 101
These specifically also allow you to try out the more expensive versions from the same distillery down the line

>Is liquor an acquired taste?
In general? Yes.
That said, there's going to be shit you just don't like. Don't try to force yourself to like one particular drink.
Some tips:
>just because it can be sipped straight doesn't mean it should
Simple mixes, or even just ice, can be game changers.
>ingredient quality matters in mixed drinks
A margarita made with basic bitch tequila and green sugar water is going to taste as appetizing as it sounds.
>the same things usually don't taste the same
Even one of the most simple, vodka, can have great variations between other brands and its own batches.
>start with easier drinks
Probably going to have an easier time with fruitier drinks at first. Mixed dranks, sweeter wines(not "dry"), brandy, rum, etc. It is VERY POSSIBLE to go too sweet.
>drink lots of water
I'll let you figure out this one on your own.
>prepare for disappointment
You will find a good drink and it will be altered/discontinued at some point (RIP in peace Bacardi 151). Someone will tell you they found the best drink ever and they will insist you try it, put on your best bad-birthday-present face.

The liquor I drink is certainly an acquired taste, but that doesn't mean you should be trying to get here. Enjoy your bourbon and coke or 40% abv entry level speysides while you can.

>>17363023
I think "Step 1: enjoy whisky so much you can drink unsippable trash like everything in your list" is far more out there than "Step 1: drop $50 on something you may not even like."

I certainly wasn't enjoying myself when I was at those price brackets.

I started drinking whiskey just because it's easier and less volume than mixed drinks. Eventually it stops being so bad.

I'm Australian, so $25 is far less than the minimum you can spend on spirits.
>a scotch fag
Yes, but there are good bourbons and I'd make the same claims about NAS speysides or any other scotch below $60 ($42USD). And even then you're not getting a particularly enjoyable experience. The game starts at $80 ($57USD) where you are spoiled for good choices.
>peat bomb scotches
Cask strength. I don't think peat is particularly acquired, or if it is it's because people acquire it through smoked ham or something like that at a very young age.

Wildly inaccurate. What we have is a compressed lower end price bracket and some issues getting rarer Bourbon explicitly (but none of the ones mentioned). But it's not like you're spoiled for choice when it comes to Australian whisky, which as a whole is pretty fucking good.

On my self now I have a Tomintoul Peaty Tang 15, Tomatin Bourbon and Sherry 8, Glenlivet Nadurra, Glenkinchie 12, Clynleish 14 (a returned gift), Smokehead High Voltage. With Arran Port and Boutique-Y Benrinnes 10 on the way. And I probably got them all cheaper than you can with straight currency conversion despite the tax differential.

Inb4 you're in an allocated state with shipping being illegal. Faggot.

>> No.17367071

The only thing you "acquire" from slowly tolerating/enjoying liquor is alcoholism. All beer universally disgusts me, some ciders are okay, and pretty much all liquor is fucking awful unmixed. If I want to get drunk, I mix vanilla rum and vanilla coke. Cheap, effective, and it doesn't make you a fatass like a lifetime of drinking beer will.
