There seems to be hardly no one who shares this experience except you. This is all quite odd.
Sometimes I find Harrogate water to have an odd, but not vile, taste when it comes in the 250ml recycled bottles. The plastic will have a bit of a tint to it. This is often the case with bottles distributed by BA on board.
On my last BA flight the 250ml bottles they gave out were made of completely clear plastic and they didn't have the odd taste. I also haven't noticed the odd taste with any other size of bottle
