Vodka good. Gin bad
WORD!

Good vodka is easy to drink as a schnapps, but gin is a source of heartburn.
Gin tastes like paint thinner, and yes I tasted it too
You don't even need to taste paint thinner to know this, it smells strong enough to be felt on your tongue.

Some cognacs and other dark liquors also have a side smell of paint thinner.
 
Just had the weirdest experience, I was sitting at my desk working when I had this very familiar smell. It was a smell from the garden in Stockholm, just when there has been a light rain. It's bright sunshine here and there is nothing that could possibly replicate it. When I got a whiff of it I stopped doing what I was doing and took a big sniff and for the briefest of moments I could smell the garden 10,000+ km away. I thought maybe I had psychic smell, so I called my mom and she told me there hasn't been any rain or snow for the past week, just cloud and fog. So really weird then :)

Sounds awesome to me! Do you also associate that smell with anyone who has passed on?
 
Not quite what you're describing, but it can have a powerful effect...
Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪˌkɔːr/)[1] is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock', or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone', and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.
I'd actually first think of how trees smell after rain. For example birch trees (common in Stockholm) smell wonderful after rain - and nothing much when it's dry.
