   As I child, I loved port, sherry and sweet wine. I found beer revolting.   
   Later, as I grew up, I progressed to alcoholic cider, and larger & lime.   
   Then sweet stout & cider (50/50 mix). I was around 25 that I eventually   
   got the hang of pale ale, then beer.   
      
   It was only after someone suggested I dip a stick of sugar into a glass   
   of whisky, and suck it, that I got the hang of spirits. I now like   
   whisky - but I definitely prefer the sweeter brands, which are Irish and   
   American. The most horrible whisky I ever had was a much-vaunted (and   
   highly-valued) highly-peated single malt (Talisker?).
