Just horrible.
Funny you should mention that, as yesterday at lunch I was sitting at the bar, and after I said how much I disliked honey bourbon, the baretender replied, "We had to send it all back, couldn't even shift it as a reduced special."

You did it wrong. I believe that is meant as a complement to a plate of andouillette sausage - the absolute nastiest food I've ever encountered, and I've had kidney (or was it liver?) stew for breakfast in India.
The nastiest drink I can recall was some house special (I forget the Spanish name) at a Mexican restaurant in Florida. "Rust" colored, and absolutely nothing redeeming about it; I think I would've preferred a can of Irn Bru with a shot of scotch, and hate both of those items!

You do know that some folks prefer Clamato in their beer, rather than plain tomato juice?

That's how I feel about Inca Kola.
Campari and OJ is a great drink to linger over; it cuts the sweetness of the juice. Campari itself is astringent, like liquid alum.
I've had that watermelon beer, drinking more than half the can because I'm cheap and I paid for it: vile stuff. Pumpkin Ale isn't all that much better after the novelty of the first one. I tried pineapple wine in Hawaii to cross it off on my "try stuff from all 50 states" list; I don't like pineapple in the first place!
I bought a bottle of Dry Fly bourbon ($50 for 375ml ... temporary insanity). Still have half of it left, and am s-l-o-w-l-y finishing it one small shot glass at a time. If it'd been any less expensive I'd toss it. Ironic as their Port Cask whiskey is outstanding!
