Malört
Some shoot Malört and think it’s good for something. Some consider it a punishment for past sins. I’m somewhere in the middle of these two schools of thought.
Although I’ve lived in Chicago and visited often, this last trip featured my first taste of Malört, a Chicago specialty. It looks like whiskey, tastes like cough medicine, and leaves a lingering, bitter aftertaste that lasts for about an hour. It seems to have some of the aromatics similar to an Underberg, but not nearly as enjoyable.


Yeah, but how many points?
