While the NAS Taketsuru is pretty great, I would not necessarily call other plebes for not having a taste for their mid range offerings. Now if you were to insist drinking the 17 yo, your text would be on point.

Hardly, Corryvreckan would be close to a forest fire smoke, Lagavulin is smooth, sherried and more dominantly medicinal smoke.

If I were you, I would try a few distilleries to figure out what you like. Speyside for sherry, Islay for smoky, Jap/Taiwan for something else entirely. While a 15ml bottle might more costly per liter, figuring out what you like is way cheaper than chugging several mediocre bottlings. Cheap entry for Japs would be Nikka whisky from the barrel. If you want to try a few different ideas about scottish whisky, try to find a Glenmorangie sampler pack. Same base 10 yo whisky with 4 different finishings in different barrels, easy on the wallet but rich in information. Picture absolutely related.
