The worst tasting liquor I've tasted!

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention". Try Missouri shine and grapefruit juice on a campout. On second thought... DON'T!

I have a friend here in Tulsa that grew up in Stilwell. After dinner at his house one evening, he brought out a Mason jar of clear liquid that his cousin had made. Interesting stuff, but my voice was a little raspy for the rest of the evening.

Worst liquor I ever tasted came in a brown pint bottle I think it was Hoppe's ol Number 9 or sumpthin. Can't remember much of anything after I took a swig.

any of the absinthe drinkers try it the way it is meant to be used or just out of the bottle? major difference in taste that way. you can buy the real stuff in europe. made in switzerland and czechoslovakia is the real deal.

Came across a bottle of Waterfill & Frazer bourbon when we were kids about 1947. This stuff would curl your gizzard. It was made in Mexico when some Mormons moved there during Prohibition. Must have been made in old Kerocene barrels.

Fred Sanford: "It's my new cocktail. I mix up Cribari and Ripple."

"I call it Cripple!"

Laphroaig is hands down the worst.

I think they call it that
because they make it from dead frog

Most people get a hold of the 10yr old. I like it, but it's not quite finished at 10. Imagine it was -20 and your tromping through snow with a 25mph wind howling. You'll wish you had a taste of that devil in your flask. It's Scottish Gatoraid.
Lagavulin 16yr is one of the best in my opinion. Laphroaig 15yr is also excellent. Just a drop of water will open both up and let those evil flavors roar.

Most i ever spent were on a bottle of 21 year old Glennlevet single molt and a 1942 (name not year) Juan Julio tequila. Both excellent but i dont know how to have a glass each night so both were gone the day they were bought. (Glennlevet was a birthday present to a friend)

Given a choice i'll take the tequila any day over scotch.

Also those of you who like scotch try the Japanese and Indian scotch. Japanese just make good stuff and there is a reason India makes good scotch .....over 300 years of English rule rubbed off in some aspects

The worst I ever tasted was when I was in 8th grade. A friend and I were out rabbit hunting and went into an old barn to get warm. Stuck between a post and the outside wall we found this old dusty bottle. I don't remember the brand on the label, but it was awful! After trying to drink it, we took it back to the woods,poured it over some sticks and set fire to it. So it did warm us up!

Back in the 60's "Rocket fuel" was pretty popular. 1/3 blackberry brandy & 2/3 beer. It didn't taste all that bad. (After the 1st pitcher) And when you puked it was really pretty!

 

[straightshooter1]

Rem3200 nailed it.

Grappa. I no longer imbibe, but have a friend that drinks that horrible stuff. It is made, according to the label, from grapes, grape leaves, grape seeds and grape stems.

He, and his family, always put that stuff in their coffee and drink it, in coffee, all day long.

Yuck!

I broke in as a teen on Mohawk Cherry Vodka with Pepsi so don't ask me, I was damaged at an early age.

Being Greek, I must say the following:
1. Ouzo, hands down, is the worst tasting excuse for a drink that ever existed.
2. Before Pasteur and germ theory came out, we found out that rosin kept the wine from turning to vinegar. Hence retsina.
3. The absolute best, though, is Metaxa brandy.

 

[jlrhiner]

I did find a new one that was pretty good. It's called "Birddog" and is blackberry whiskey. Not flavored, but actually made from blackberrys. (possibly I'm confused about this last part, as my investigatory skills rapidly diminished) I will investigate further.

 

[reddogge]

The absolutely worst I ever had was Unicum, the national drink of Hungary. Medicinal and disgusting. Comes is a little round black bottle. If you ever are offered any, run.

Absinthe !!!!!! O my God I tried it once due to an article in a a gun mag of all places...Had to go to a liquer store that has every thing. Bad mistake Obie the guy who owned the store said he can't sell it but he had a bottle in back opened and old...Being the dumb butt I can be on accassion I tried a sip.....Bad, Bad, Bad mistake....Who drinks this stuff?? I have had Ky. moonshine that was smooth compared to Absinthe. What is that stuff I understand it can not be imported legally, some that is around isn't the same stuff from overseas......I did see Anthoney Bourdan the TV chef try some in Europe and it even made him wether and growl.

It actually is supposed to be poured into a glass, then cold water with a suger cube strained through this slotted spoon thing and turns kind of milky green. It is extracted from wormwood, which is an herb with some toxic components in it. It has been used for years as medicine. The old stuff was not properly processed to rid the toxins, hence it was illegal here in the US. But now it is available for any willing adult at the local liquor store. It isn't like being drunk per se, or at least not in the whiskey/tequila/vodka type of drunk you'd expect because it is like 45 proof or something.

My wife yelled at me one night because I was peeing off of the upstairs balcony onto the living room couch. The absinthe had me take a left instead of a right and I thought I was in the restroom... Can't say that ever happened while drinking beer or vodka. Not even Jaegermiester... Proceed with caution with the absinthe.

For me it was BeefEater. That is some nasty stuff. I cannot believe people buy it!

THEEE WORSE - By far
Drink a 5th of Sloe Gin -
Then remove it from your stomach into into your toilet or a bush, a ditch, under a table, or what ever's handy.
Now try to drink some again

Tequila works the same way - In case you were wondering.

 

[RightArm]

Absinthe is way over 100 proof. Maybe your bottle was 45%. The stuff here in the states is made from southern or "baby" wormwood. Customers that had the real stuff in Europe told me it is entirely different in taste and effect. I don't know. I was never offered the real stuff and never drank the legal stuff because I saw what it did to people. Most who drank it were kids in their early 20's.

A friend brought back from Mexico a bottle of Aguardiente (sp) which translates to fire water. Burns going down, while it's there, and on it's way out. One shot and I threw the bottle down has hard as I could at him as I felt he was trying to poison me. Nasty stuff. Second worst was a pint of shine brought to the college dorms from a guy from Lexington Kentucky. I dipped my finger in it and it burned. I was afraid to try it so I opened the window (we were on the 2nd story) and poured it out. Unfortunately it landed on a cat sleeping in the bushes. Felt bad because it took the hair off the cat and he screamed something horrible. One guy who tried to drink it all we found the next morning naked sleeping about 20 ft up in a tree. We had to call the Fire Dept. to get him down before he woke up.

You aren't supposed to drink it straight out of the bottle!!! You put some in a glass, then there is this little spoon with a bunch of holes in it that you put over top the glass and place a few sugar cubes on...then slowly drip ice water {cold as you can get it without freezing} down thru the sugar cubes and into the glass of Absinthe. The green Absinthe will turn an opalescent white. Cut roughly in half with ice cold sugar water, then you drink it. The original stuff from Europe back in the day had a halucinogenic compound derived from an herb called wormwood. It dont look anything like wormwood, it is called that because it is so bitter. The sugar was supposed to take away some of the bitter taste. Eventually, they outlawed it because the real stuff really did make you halucinate. The wormwood has now been deleted and it is really nothing more than licorice liquor. It will get you pretty wasted pretty quick though...it's about 140 proof.
