I can understand you. I - also do not like Scotch 29 out of 30 days. but on this 30th day - for whatever the reason is, I suddenly like the taste of it for a short while, one or two glasses, and then really appreciate the slow unfolding of the many aromes that i usually do not like at all. So, I have a drink once a month, or more rarely, but when i have it on these rare occasions, I really like it. On all other opportunities, on all the 29 out of 30 days, it makes me wanting to spit it out.
That hardly makes me the usual whiskey lover, I suppose.
For more regular drinking, I prefer a mild red vine (shame on me: I prefer vine to be served COLD, all of them
), and in summer occasionally an ice-cold beer, but not as often anymore as in past years. Whisky just fascinates me since it is surprisingly rich and diverse in aromes beyond the surface of hot alcohol and bitter taste - if only you let your tongue meet it with an open, unprejudiced set of nerves - and this is the case for me only every couple of weeks.
The most delicious thing to drink is cold, clear sweetwater anyway.
Sushi, on the other hand, is something that makes me run away, yelling.
