It is merely serendipity that The Scottish Whiskey Association record double digit profit increases from Brasil since I emigrated there;
. . . . no caushality whatshoever.
Cheers!

Scotch Whisky has become more and more a sin of mine...

My little treasure by personal taste (besides other non-scottish ones):

1. Glenlivet 12y. (by far)
2. Highland Park 12y
3. Pulteney 12y
4. Glenfiddich 12y

Next ones to target for my collection:
-Ardberg 12y
-Laphroaig 12y
-Lagavulin 12y (already tasted)
-Cardhu 12y (already tasted)

Man,

Try a Glenmorangie (Scottish, 3 or 4 versions, priced accordingly).
It is has a very 'rounded' taste and a nose with a hint of orange;
a single malt, light but with the characteristic of a liqueur.

Hi Geoff,

eventhough dominating orange ist not one of the scents I prefer in Whysky, I will give it a try. Thanks for the hint!
