Whiskey is one of those things I'd like to enjoy but don't. I have tried it a few times but always found myself thinking "How the hell do people enjoy this".

Is it like new music? Do you need to sample it enough times, acclimatize to it, before you can start to enjoy it?

Whatever about that I respect this guys approach:

    “I don’t need a ton of money. I’m comfortable. Why get bigger? I mean, yeah, I guess I’d like to have a jet to fly around in, but things like that just complicate your life.”
That's the secret to happiness right there, finding joy in what you have and not caring about what you don't have.

I'd say it's an acquired taste, but some people don't need to acquire it. My wife likes blended scotch and cognac. She could care less for bourbon, rye and single malt. To each his own.
