I don't like it either which is a shame because I love butterscotch candies. But I don't think it's
mount baker's fault. I've tried two other juices from other vendors that had that same taste to me - one a 'butter rum', the other a bakery item advertised as very 'buttery'.
See what they have in common?
As it turns out, I have some TFA 'butter' flavoring which I hadn't opened yet. Yup, same funky smell. Evidently I'm sensitive to something in 'butter' flavoring. I'm sure I've tried other things that had 'butter' flavoring in it, I think I only have a problem at higher concentrations. Bummer.
