second jar and the taste threw me a bit, theres a sort of bitter herbal sharpness behind the sweet that my first one didnt really have. bad sign or just a different batch tasting different

pretty normal for this stuff actually. tends to carry a sharper, slightly bitter/herbal edge vs regular table honey, comes from the flowers. shifts batch to batch and season to season too. off would be sour, fizzy or a fermented tang, not bitter-herbal
