I have a friend for whom I buy a bottle of single malt for Christmas 
each year, and he reciprocates. Last year I got him a McClellands, he 
got me a Talisker. The Talisker is beautifully peaty. I bought him 
Lagavullin a few years ago (or was it the other way around?), it didn't 
last long.

As a payoff on a bet, he bought me some 18 year old Glen Morangie. It 
was quite disappointing as we liked the much cheaper 12 year alot better.

For a cheap, yet still pretty good (IMO) single malt, try Dalmore. Just 
make sure you let it breath...
