Malort is a very acquired taste. Those of the midwest may have an easier time with it. Its been a few years but I think I’ll stand by my original take.
I do not know. In our experience in sharing it, 1 in 50 don’t hate it. I guess we do it for experimental purposes. I am pretty sure it cures diseases. Just not sure which ones.
My lil bro brought a bottle down for our buddy’s 21st and of course
We took him snipe hunting too. (Both of which seem to be important for the development of a young man
Yak!!
It’s still in his cabinet, full bottle (minus 3 shots) and hes about to be 27. Theres a real good reason it’s been there so long. It’s like gargling Arrid deodorant and used kitty litter.
Even tho I grew up in Chicago, I never encountered Malort. Perhaps I WAS raised right.
So I did a little research into it. Here is what one site said:
“While we can (mostly) all agree that Malört tastes, um, unsavory, we can’t all seem to agree the specific way in which the liquor ravages our taste buds. Professional food and drink writers and anonymous internet commenters alike have taken on the great task of identifying Malört’s unique putridity. So we collected our favorite descriptions of this utterly un-sippable Chicago drink, for your heaving pleasure.”
