Malort starts bad and gets worse. I’m convinced that it degrades into some worse chemicals as it oxidizes in your mouth. 10/10, would recommend as a truly horrendous flavor experience that won’t actually kill you.
It is like that! Hah it has been well over a decade for me, but I do remember it gets worse. There’s thi… ugh, balls nasty tree bark flavor that gets more intense and leaves an throaty aftertaste that even Jameson couldn’t flush away. Some people claim to like the taste of Malort, but I think they’re just dead inside.
If you’re ever in Chicago, order a shot of Malort. It goes down exactly like that.
I was on a work trip in rural Pennsylvania in 2008 or so, and I stopped at this local dive on my way back to the hotel.
The house special was something called a Guiness-tini, and I do not recommend it. Probably goes down about the same as that shot of Malort.
In Istanbul many years ago, I tried Raki, which did this to me. It’s similar to Ouzo from Greece
