I know the more expensive vodkas have less odor than the cheaper stuff, but I can't even whiff it anymore with feeling queasy.

Ouzo is similar to arak and many other rather raw near-eastern anise-flavored liquors. It is not mellow stuff. It is traditionally drunk with water added, which turns it a milky color. I can't say it is worth a special trip just to drink some, but if you are in Greece and some is offered to you, try it. You might like it.

Oh, I just looked up what anise is. Can't imagine I'd be into it.

If you have ever had Pastis, it is pretty similar. Ouzo is really refreshing with ice and water. It has a bad rep because tourists tend to pound shots of it.

Or sambucca i guess.
sambuca + espresso = deliciousness
