Anybody else not like fermented beverages? (liquor, tequila, tastes, grape)

[randian]

I like distilled spirits like tequila or cognac, or those derived from them like limoncello, but for some reason I just can't stand the flavors added by fermentation i.e. beer or wine.

Cognac is a derivative of a white grape blend, quick fermented like a noveau wine until it reaches like 8% abv. I'm not sure if the distillation strips away all the solids like yeasts & tannins. But I know lots of ppl (especially women) who get migraines, gas or bloating from wine & beer but are fine with vodka & rum.

I can't get past the taste long enough to test whether I suffer those side effects from beer or wine.

Well, all alcohol is derived from fermentation...unless you invented another way. Obviously, everyone has there own preferences though.

I haven't tried any of this. Well, I will try.

I'm the opposite, in that I almost always prefer beer or wine to hard liquor.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are talking about?

Even tequila is fermented. (we did the Tequila Train in Guadalajara including a tour of the great Hedura Tequila Distillery) Fermentation and Distillation - Experience Tequila

Since it apparently wasn't obvious:

I like distilled spirits, but not things that aren't distilled like beer or wine. I was wondering if others had similar tastes.
