Definitely an acquired taste for me. I started with Zubrowka that I bought in Poland at a time when the US thought that the Polish buffalo grass herb in the bottle was a hallucinogenic. In Poland it was considered an aphrodesiac. I found it just made me sleepy. Then I hit on gin martinis, preferably Bombay Saphire or, in winter, Tanquery Ten. I've recently discovered Hendrick's gin. Yum.
