Sonoma Distilling Co. Sonoma Bourbon

This is regrettably poor. Off-putting throughout. We had considered a distillery tour for tomorrow but decided against it after this tasting. Nose: Lemon polish, eucalyptus, vanilla, white sugars, pine, cedar, and wood adhesive. Flavor: Precisely matches the aroma. Like a solvent for cleaning ovens. It tastes of artificial sweeteners and diet soda. Finish: Brief and harsh. Cleaning agents and sugar. Truly terrible. Potentially the worst whiskey I have ever sampled. I'm contemplating emptying it just to reuse the bottle, which is a first for me. Do not spend your money. Seriously.

There's brown sugar, distinct oak, caramel, char, and towards the end, some notes resembling prunes with a vanilla and spice finish. I believe it has been unfairly judged in reviews; it's certainly not as poor as some suggest, just not particularly remarkable.

Bourbon Advent calendar 2020. It's acceptable, unlike some other opinions, but not worth keeping. It's quite oaky. This was the last one from the calendar, a disappointing way to finish.

Young whiskey that creates a burning sensation in the upper chest and back of the throat. Tastes grassy. Not a good value for the price. This is the first time I've actually poured a bottle down the drain.

Sweet, bold, oily wood, leather, dense wood, spices, furniture polish. Very strange, different, I liked it in a weird way. Too harsh, furniture polish.

Among the worst I have ever experienced. I poured out my glass because it was that poor. I wanted to rate it zero but was unable to.
