Durian is delicious. It tastes like perfumed custard, but few people get past the smell of the fruit itself which is akin to bad drains.

Sorry to be a pedant, but this one really annoys me. Whisky from Scotland is spelt without an 'e', 'whiskey' from Ireland is spelt with an 'e'. The Maccallan, Glenlivet and Laphiog are all Scottish, so no 'e'. Restaurant menus are usually the worst for this, particualrly in the US.

Very partial to an Aberlour, Jura or Strathisla myself.

Ooops! Who's just misspelled 'Leapfrog' then? (Laphroaig)

Otherwise described as like eating over-ripe strawberries while sitting on a German toilet doing a Number 2.
