Any beverage with High Fructose Corn Syrup. It's not actually sweet like sugar to my taste buds, it has a really bitter after taste, extremely sharp. I can always tell when it's not real sugar in a beverage.
I'd call it cloying. After drinking mt dew or something it feels like my throat is coated with evil

I'm quite surprised nobody has mentioned Scotch. It's revered by old dudes, with super expensive, hard to find bottles only pulled out for the most special occasions. No matter how expensive the bottle it always tastes like it was decanted straight out of Sasquatch's butthole
Peated scotch tastes like burning tires smell. I hate it. Non peated? Lovely.
Sounds like you like Irish whiskey which is smoother and follows stricter rules

Coffee
I get it, it's an acquired taste. But I sure don't like it.
The taste that coffee adds to things is great, and the smell is amazing. A bad brew tastes like bitter dirt water and has the same effect on your stomach. I've never had a good black brew in my life.
I do love me some coffee milk, but at that point we are right back to coffee adding flavor to things, not being good itself.

Kombucha, I can't stand the taste but people who like it seem to be obsessed with it. It's good for making vegan leather with though.

Eggnog. 🤢
I can't stand homemade eggnog... One wiff of the fresh nutmeg reminds me of the time I downed half a cup of it in a moment of desperation; aka to get high. Not recommended, felt like a 48 shitty weed Brownie high mixed with a minor flu. That amount of nutmeg is the most putrid shit ever. Getting it down was insanely difficult.
Standard issue cheap grocery store eggnog on the other hand is so fucking' tasty. Grab a gallon and drink it over a weekend and I'm my fat ass is set for the winter.
I want to get a little drunk, but I also want some pancakes

Moxie, a regional soda in Maine. Imagine Dr Pepper mixed with root beer and cough syrup. Yeah, disgusting. Most do hate it, but there are enough people who like it to warrant a Moxie festival every year.
Most regular energy drinks. Red Bull and regular Monster taste like battery acid to me. Remember NOS? That too. Also Rockstar. All battery acid.
The flavored variants can be better though.

Hefeweizens, just absolute trash. They all taste exactly the same, it’s like weak shitty grass tea.
I know multiple people who like Club Mate. It's just an ash tray flavored energy drink to me, never liked it
Most teas smell like a wet forest floor to me.
I agree, and that's why I like it.

there will be lots of personal opinions here ... mine is that champagne is -not awful but still- overrated.

Sour beers / goses. I keep coming back every couple of years to see if my tastes have changed and they always taste awful to me. I'm glad most brewers hopped (pun somewhat intended) on the IPA train because I much prefer them over the sour options.
Must be one of those cilantro situations, I'm the complete opposite. Give me sours all day and take away all the IPAs, blech
