The iodine flavour is probably the most divisive one in scotch, luckily there's so much whisky out there you don't have to worry about it, although I'd probably avoid ardbeg as well if you haven't already tried their whisky?
As for the prohibition stuff, it's a great story but there's no real evidence to back it up, the flavour definitely wasn't created for it as the distillery predates prohibition by about 100 years, Bourbon and other spirits could also be sold medicinally during prohibition . I say this as a massive laphroaig fan who's given them more money than I care to admit and spent my stag do at the distillery :)

Ashamed to say that at the grand old age of 56 I opened my first ever bottle of Laphroaig 10 year old last week and well, I struggled to get beyond the taste and smell of TCP.
Yes, I understand that this taste was part of avoiding the ban during prohibition in the US but it's really not for me.
