Scotchholm Syndrome

The process of enjoying Scotch Whisky by way of force.

"I didn't use to like Scotch Whisky, but I forced myself to like it because everyone else did."

"Sounds like you have Scotchholm 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.

Thanks to Scotcholm Syndrome, I enjoy sipping Wild Turkey neat.
