We have one of those Hot water Taps at the Kitchen Sink, heats up the water
on a separate spigot. It is NOT a Point Of Use Instant Hot Hot water heater.

When we use it (since we bought the house, so 4 years now) there is a
somewhat sweet smell that comes from the water that comes out of it.

Does not seem to have a taste. Though we mostly use it for preheated water
for boiling, or cleaning....

I have not crawled under the sink to see who makes it..
