Where's my sad face! I have a few of those. After collecting a few hundred, I have been trying to buy barrel picks because I can usually try them. Or, tasting at whiskey club or at a friends house. I have gotten burned more than a few times. Although, I have found, the bottles often change after you open them up and get past the neck pour and down to the shoulders. Many that I have revisited 6 months later were quite delicious. I also have a eyedropper bottle with filtered water. Sometimes especially if the juice is too hot, a couple drops per oz. will open it up and change it for the better. Worth a try.
