The worst tasting liquor I've tasted!

In order to graduate tech school in the Air Force in 1967 the four of us had to drink the Msgt's home made wheat wine. Made moonshine seem tame. Something he learned to brew in the orient during WWII and Korea. It was then I knew why the tail gunners had a better chance of taking down a zero by having it fly thru the 50 cal cases than actually hitting one.
 
Way back in the 70's when I was a real drinker I was stationed in Germany. Someone will help me get the name right who lived there. Anyway all the German liquors were ok but we picked up thi Austrian rum in think it was Stroh's 151.(151 proof) It hit your tongue like butterscotch and the rest was pure Hell all the way down. Man we were dumb back then.
 
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.

Despite getting sick from Tequila I can still manage to drink it in sufficent quantity.:D

Sloe Gin on the other hand, will never pass my lips again. Back in high school (mid 70's) I over-indulged in sloe gin and got so ill that to this day the mere sight of a sloe gin bottle makes me wretch...
 
...that Night Train's a mean wine...

...in college I drank anything that was put in front of me...with predictable results...

...I'm lucky I survived college...

...now I like good imported beer...and when I feel a sore throat coming on...a shot of 12 year old Chivas Regal...works every time...
 
Jaegermesiter... When I was a lieutenant in Ludwigsburg, we used to go to the bowling alley and get German beer and little bottles of Jagermeister. Stuff tastes like really bad cough syrup.

Jagermeister is still used as an an example of clever marketing and the gullibility of the average consumer in marketing classes and culinary schools.
The man took a vile tasting tonic popular with bilious old men in Bavaria and Germany and convinced the shot and beer crowd in America that what they were drinking was cool and is a veritable hero among liquor merchants and importers.
He is also the same person who got us to pay top dollar for mediocre vodka by putting it in a tall bottle and calling it Grey Goose. Genius!

Monte Alban Mescal. Tastes like a mixture of gasoline and potting soil. Not to mention the fact it has a friggin' big meal worm preserved in it. Come to think of it, maybe it is formaldehyde and not dirt/gasoline I tasted. Mescal makes even the worst tequila taste top shelf.

The worst excuse for Scotch I ever tasted is Inver House. I guarantee it is made from potato vodka and iodine. Scotch my hairy backside!
 
The two worst I can remember are Akadama wine and Tory whiskey. Both brought to us from the japaneese. Talk about a yellow peril. The wine would make you see things that are not there and the whiskey was just plain nasty. Probably aged for about a day before it hit the retail store. Have to admit that they were both cheap.
 
Ahh! Sun Tory whiskey...Brings back memories of Iwakunie...Can't believe a somewhat normal 19 year old got drunk on that ****...A right of passage I guess.....Along with a few other less than Christian endevors that were waiting for the young and dumb in Japan in the mid 50's to early 60's.....
 
I have to agree with Steamloco. Monte Alban Mezcal is the foulest liquor I ever tried. Tastes like bad tequila with cigarette butts steeped in it. My buddy and cracked a bottle during an epic Big Bend-Mexico trip. About 9/10ths was still there when we got home. This was when we were 19 and would drink anything, even cans of hot Carta Blanca.
 
AHH! Akadama. Yuck. Suntory, ditto. I forgot about them. I have to admit that back when I was a drinker, I liked San Miguel beer. Maybe being on that ship for months at a time had something to do with it.
Oh, and I could never understand the attraction people have to Southern Comfort. YMMV.
 
Mogen David 20/20...aka Mad Dog 20/20. Tastes really bad and makes you crazy drunk.

Drank it two times in college (i'm a slow learner). Woke-up in a closet the the first time. The second time I woke-up in my car in the middle of a soybean field ( i said i was a slow learner). :o

Just the thought of it gives me headache.

Here's some wino trivia for you: Who was Mogen David?
 
Mogen David Strawberry-Kiwi flavored wine. Thought I'd buy some-mix it with some 7 up and voila-cheap wine coolers for the missus at the tailgating party. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!! Stuff was so bad even my then 21 year old son wouldn't drink it!
 
I remember sitting around in my frat house and drinking mezcal out of the bottle with some of my "brothers". I got the worm and spit it out on the table. We lit it on fire and it burned for 45 minutes. The Mezcal wasn't that bad but the smell of that flaming worm still haunts me some 32 years later!
