replies to above:
aquavit - tastes okay, tasted like a clean vodka with caraway. fine but really one note and not a great note at that.
sweet ouzo - it used to be priced much cheaper than other 40% alcohol spirits so i'd get it as a kid. bad hangover memory and its super sweet.
cloying desert wine including overly sweet port - yes, obvious reasons why
sour beer - there was a trend here of kettle sours which were just really lame sour beers with no complexity or interesting characteristics. horrible, thankfully theyre gone.
bourbon/whiskey - bourbon popularity is just a man's club thing currently going on. it's expensive and people can claim/state there is something to "understand/appreciate" about it - double bragging points. i like some bourbons for sure, but as i think i said recently in the whiskey thread - i want max flavour without excessive alcohol and whiskey, especially the "barrel proof" type ones. would much rather have a really good beer than a relaly good whiskey that is going to be way more expensive and have more alcohol in it per ml of enjoyment.
my own:
idk if they still make it but very sweet french brandy. bad experience once where i bought some intending to drink it with a friend, but it was way way way sweeter than i expected.
korean green bottle cheap soju of any brand - really bad stuff. hyper low quality ethanol doctored up with dozens of artificial flavourings and sweeteners. very bad headaches.
chinese baijus with the flower scent aromas. literally tastes like the lowest quality 3rd world ethanol mixed with rose water for flavour. super bizarre
unassertive and/or sweet gin.
hendrick's gin - very harsh and smells like an old woman's flower perfume.
"bear beer" from denmark
all those dirty cheap hyper lagers (10%ABV and up) from the netherlands. you're making a trash malt liquor but it doesn't need to be THIS bad.
vegetal macro lite beer, with low ibu ie. coors lite, etc.
finlandia - tastes like medical use ethanol
