      You should try Green or Yellow spot or 15yr old Redbreast

          Peat and dirt. I suppose I can see where the TCP smell comes from - trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl - phenoly smell. Yes, it does a bit!
          If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

              It does have a taste of iodine to it initially. It gets challenging reviews, seems to be a marmite sort of drink.

                Most Islay whiskies are like that. Speysides are usually less smoky, more delicately flavoured so they're easier to drink.

                  I had one once that was distilled in a cliff top distillery - the blurb on the bottle banged on about the salt from the sea blending etc to give unique blah blah flavour

                  I struggled to actually hold it down - it just tasted like sea water.

                    Nice with a spot of coke in it.
