Do not worry.
The base of preparation of homeopathic medicine is absolute alcohol. Whisky is also an alcoholic beverage.
Even a small amount of medicine can give you a smell and taste of whiskey because it's 99% pure alcohol.
Continue with the same medicine.

Hi practo user!
Yes,it tastes like alcohol because it contains ethanol in very less amount (approx.5%).
The ratio differs in different medicines.
But no need to worry,it will not harm or give any side effects on your body.
It is used only as a vehicle in medicines.
