It must be an individual thing. I've been grinding/using white peppercorns for years & have never had a problem with it's scent or taste being at all offensive.

pyridine would not be formed from the oxidation of the other chemicals you mention; it is very volatile, so would not hang around. It has a vile smell, which when smelt, makes one want to chuck!
I have had black pepper which had a medicinal smell of mold, white pepper is just black pepper with the black husk removed.
I would either return the pepper, or chuck it. I would not use it again!!
