I just got a bottle of ardbeg 10, it smelled and tasted like some type of industrial chemical, has anyone else had this experience?

Welcome to Islay peat. You either love it or hate it. But rest assured. It is natural.https://www.reddit.com/r/Scotch/comments/xz9h55/i_just_got_a_bottle_of_ardbeg_10_it_smelled_and/
This reminds me of a Laphroaig commercial. If it tastes like burning tires, there is nothing wrong with your bottle.
