Some are more..."beginner friendly", as it were. But if you get some proper salty licorice from the pharmacy (and our pharmacies aren't like US pharmacies where they sell everything like a grocery store), that's definitely an acquired sensation.
I say sensation, because it's honestly more about sensation than taste. Kinda like chili in food. (Although ofc chilis have taste as well. Habaneros are very different from Scotch Bonnets etc.)
Sensation, because it's ammonium chloride that's in there.
