IIRC, you preferred an "E" in your whiskEy...
The problem could lie in the perception of mundanity. My parents used to live on the edge of Dartmoor and I would drive over the moor to see them and never notice the beauty of the place - familiarity had made it (to me) mundane. These days, I drive over the moor less frequently so appreciate the scenery immeasurably more and often stop to take it in. I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of people who are born and raised in other areas of outstanding natural beauty who rarely notice what to them has become simply the view from the kitchen sink!
