I've used Meyers Dark for many years with almost always favorable results. I recently opened a new bottle and the first Mai Tai I made tasted a little off, even the wife thought so. I smelled the Meyers straight from the bottle and it has a very strong smoke odor. Not sure how it's supposed to smell, can't remember smelling straight form the bottle before. Does it normally have a very strong smokey odor?? thanks
