"...this product is made with ethyl alcohol, which stinks! ethyl alcohol was used in the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic by companies, because of shortages in isopropyl alcohol. The stuff stinks really bad!.."
ethyl alcohol is confirmed as stated on the back label of the bottle.

Drinking 8 ounces of isopropyl will kill an average human, while ethyl is found aplenty at your local friendly bar- and not just the 120-proof (60% ABV) stuff. Pick your poison.
On a related note, i considered it laudable that distilleries rose to modify their processes to address the demand during the worse of COVID. They made some money and saved people that we will never know (until we can travel multi-verses).
Also since ethyl is slightly better at neutralizing viruses, you can safely rub it all over your ... lips ... (can you feel the burn?) in case of immediate intervention due to intimate viral contact.
Iso is a tad better for bacteria, which is kinda odd considering how this is marketed.
fyi, more is not better - some water mixed in helps the alcohols physically get there:

Clarification: Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol) is the drinking alcohol, but the 70% concentrations here are not safe to drink. Yup, even with all these yucky additives, those with AUD still go for it - without checking if it isn't methanol / isopropyl, which aer poisonous.

I had personally bought and used ethyl alcohol during the peak of Covid when any types of anti-virus alcohol were not available. I was so happy then to be able to buy four 1 gallon jugs of ethyl alcohol for an exorbitant amount of money.
My thought was to share them with friends and relatives. But it did smell pretty bad. I had to add a significant amount of lavender oil to cover up the smell. At the end, I wasn't able to give away the ethyl base sanitizer due to the smell and I still have a couple of jugs left.

Looked it up- the smelly part may be Pyridine. Manufacturers avoid paying higher booze-making (ethyl) taxes by denaturing(?)- making these undrinkable, adding nasty-smelling/tasting and isop/methanol poisons to sanitizer products.
Can't trust the labels on some products- FDA posted recalls on many, mainly for having methanol.

I am glad those days are behind us and hope they will never return in the future.
