FWIW, I absolutely love my in-law's unfiltered well water. It's ridiculously hard water (tons of calcium etc.), and tastes very sweet as a consequence. I haven't ever had water that tastes as good, and we always fill up a couple jugs to take back with us.

If I were somehow lose access to that water I'd probably try this at least once just to see if it's close.

Your well water was coming from property people you know own, not what some random snake-oil salesman is bottling and selling. Personally, I'd rather not risk it.
I've had well water with a lot of sulfur in it a few times. Not sure if I'd say I like it but it's an interesting experience.
Yeah, the sulfur heavy ones are pretty terrible, but that's not all Wells.
People will buy sulphurous water, "tastes vile enough that it seems like it could be a medicine" I think is the rationale. Eg at Bath in the UK, not sure if you can take it away but you can buy a glass in the tea-rooms.
