#92I'm a complete weirdo apparently who really likes the flavor of malort, it's bitter and herbal and so if you like those flavors you'll enjoy it. I kinda resent the amount of marketing that the new owners have churned out hyping it up, although I do appreciate what they're doing. If you think you might enjoy it, give it a shot I'd describe the flavor as sweetened church pew, then grapefruit bitterness. If you're not e…
Yeah, they took a quaint little dive bar thing and are turning it into a lifestyle brand.

I like it too. Reminds me of Akavit, which I love.

As someone who loves akvavit, I find Malört absolutely disgusting.

I find it just fine as well. I feel like a generation of marketing around Malort was "it's really gross!", but it's a distinct taste that I don't think a chunk of people would find so offensive if they weren't heavily primed before trying it.

#99My friends make a cocktail with Malort, White Monster, and C4 preworkout. They also have a multi-year running gag where they offer me a bottle of fine whiskey or bourbon at a campfire but it has in fact been replaced by Malort. Then, when I am choking and gagging someone else offers me some water to wash away the taste, which is in fact also Malort.
There remain jurisdictions in the United States where it is legal to shoot someone for replacing water with Malort.

#100I happen to enjoy malort, so there's probably something wrong with me. Malort has been seeing wider distribution recently, which i hear may due to a buyout a while ago. Their website lists distribution in Delaware, Maryland, DC, and randomly checking San Francisco shows availability as well. No more having to visit Chicago to purchase it enables a lot more people to buy it and businesses to serve it. The weird Chicag…
Malort has been available at Total Wine and More for over a year. That's when I bought some and forced my friends into all trying it, and they all agreed it was terrible.
