Drink recommendations for someone that hates alcohol?

I’m almost 30 so I don’t think this is changing. Sweet red wines, fruity cocktails, apple ales, rum and coke, and a couple sweeter stouts are pretty much the extent of my palate right now.

I want to find something relatively strong but also super smooth and kinda sweet I can drink straight and sip on, in an effort to slow down my drinking and limit myself to only one or two here and there, but I’m struggling with it.

I tried Woodford Reserve and hated it. I can’t taste any of the flavors it mentions. It just tastes like rubbing alcohol.

I’m currently sipping on some Monkey Shoulder which is slightly more palatable but I still had to mix it to tolerate it.

Does such a thing even exist or am I doomed to only enjoy mixed drinks?
