Anyone into Single Malt Scotch Whisky?

Holy sh!t it's a sign...
I'm on this whisky group and sometimes they have some crazy deals. Today the craziest deal... Lagavulin 16 which costs around R$1.100 here (+- 195usd) , for R$700!! That's close to the actual price in the US which is already expensive, but comparably so cheap here (for a very expensive malt. lol).
Problem is I already spent my quota and some this month... insane deal but bad timing.
Everything in Brazil costs over twice as much as in the US whereas our currency is worth 1/6 of the Dollar. Good times.
I had to pass on that Lagavulin... didn't feel good.
Mostly beer. but a bit of everything. People love Caipirinhas with either Pinga or Vodka.
Yesterday I poured some GlenAllachie 12 again... man, that whisky is just ridiculous... too fucking good, seriously. I had some GlenDronach 12 afterwards and can now confirm, GlenAllachie 12 is my current favorite (from my bottles obviously... my overall winner so far is the Balvenie 15 Single Barrel, sherry... there's also a ex-bourbon single barrel).
Also had some Laphroaig 10, another piece of awesome.
Now seriously... gotta slow down... my recently purchased bottles are all close to halfway done already!! Why is this so freaking good?

The weakness has gotten the best of me again... my Lagavulin 16 should be here early March (had to pay in advance to get that price).
Poor but happy. Don't tell my wife.
It's amazing. I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't tried it before.I really enjoyed it this past weekend
I had to revisit this. I had quite a few drams of this and I'm liking it more and more with each pour. Not really tasting metal like I did before... It's actually quite pleasant. not super sherried, but it's there... there's also some orange zesty thing going on. That with the ex-bourbon influence... it's just an easy drinker. Gotta let it rest though, alcohol a bit strong on this one even though it's just 43%.
All this rain and wind combined with a seemingly endless cold has kept me out of the water and into a bottle.
My fav's have mostly been mentioned:
Bunnahabhain 12
Glendronach 12
Caol Ila 12
Hibiki 12
But I'm loving the Irish now with Red Breast Lustau!

Bunnahabhain 12 and GlenDronach 12 are some of my favorites along with GlenAllachie 12. Sherry goodness abound!
One that surprised me is Arran 10... man, that is good stuff! I will always keep my eyes peeled for Arran sales after this.
Will try the Arran; hadn't heard of it before. Here's an exerpt from Master of Malts:
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Herbal, biscuity, hedgerow greenness and dried grass, like a long English summer's afternoon.
Palate: Sweet. Quite malty, digestive biscuits, followed by green fruits and Cox's apple peel.
Finish: Slightly bitter, maltiness.
Like spectating at a SurfExpo shape off: a bunch of drunks ooing and awing over 1/32" of concave here, 1/16" of tail kick there, wide point 1/8" forward, rails pinched, and so on!
Cracked into the Glendronach 15 this week. Bloody hell, it's the t!ts!
GlenDronach 15 seems to be the dram by which all other drams are judged. Haven't tried it yet but next time I'm on my inlaw we are going for the trifecta - GD 15, 18 and 21.
Scooped this up over the weekend. Muy gud.
