Mildly but not really on topic, what bottles have y'all bought lately that just weren't up to snuff?

My most recent dud is especially disappointing -- 2020's version of George Dickel Bottled in Bond. I thought last year's 13-year-old version was really good. I didn't like it quite as much as some reviewers did, but still, great stuff for a good price. This year's, though, man, it's not my bag at all. The sip starts out as Dickel but then immediately turns into what I can only describe as a bland, ultra dry bitterness. Closest thing I can think of is the aftertaste of plain club soda, but amped up to 11. And it sticks with you for a bit, too. I'm an unabashed Dickel fanboy, but this one is just way off the mark for me.
