I once put a tiny amount in several glasses at work and tried them all (including an Irish Whiskey or two). I believe there was one Scotch and one Irish whiskey where I thought, "that's not nearly as bad as the others." It was Jameson and, I think, Glenfiddich.

It's just not worth it to me to try really hard to acquire a taste for something that's expensive anyway. I've got enough expensive tastes. I don't need to develop more.
