Heavy tackle that one if I remember correctly. One of the more medicinal ones but then I'm a puff when it comes to malt. I prefer smoother stuff like bruichladdich and singleton

Go for it - Caol Isla is not medicinal like Laphroaig et al

TCP, but then Caol is a bit of a dump and needs cleaning out anyway.

ooh, one of my favourites. Peaty, 'cos it is, after all, an islay malt, but the distillery is inches from sea and you can really taste the salt in it.

Not heavy peat like laphroig or liquorice like a highland park (orkney), very clean and zingy (sorry, that does sound pretentious). One of the more powerful tastes

TCP? Medicinal? Nah, sorry, don't see that at all.

Nice but not as nice as laphroaig cask strength or even quarter cask imo
