I think that it's unpleasant, but found that its reputation is greatly exaggerated. There are much worse liquors available if that's your jam.

Don't drink Windex.

Just chase it with an Old Style or twelve and whatever Malört tastes like to you will soon be only a nostalgic memory from your one trip late at night to Logan.

My first thought exactly! I have never heard of Malört outside of the cryptography/security industry, where offering it is seemingly used as a hazing ritual.
