scotcholm syndrome

Feelings of affection and appreciation felt toward Scotch whiskey (though applicable to all whiskeys) resulting from a long period of drinking it and hating it.
While I used to think that Laphroaig tasted like I was drinking an industrial fire, I now love it and appreciate its notes due to Scotcholm Syndrome.
