Any moderatley peated speyside/highland malt?

Glen Garioch 15 yo seems like a pretty nice match, and in the range of

Another thing may be the "Islay Cask" finished speysiders, although I haven't tried any of these myself. AFAIK there's The Balvenie Islay Cask (which is quite expensive here in Belgium) and the Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve

-- I love the smell of Ardbeg in the morning...

Brora, Oban, Longmorn and maybe Benrinnes or Highland Park. Brora is peat, smoke, salt. Oban is light peat, light smoke and salt. Longmorn is smoke and fruits. Benrinnes is light smoke and vanilla. Highland Park is light smoke and heather.

- Brora starts at ~£50 (Loch Fyne Whiskies) e.g. Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice 1982 15yo 40%

- Oban OB 14yo 43% is ~£33 (Oddbins)

- Longmorn OB 15yo 45% is ~£32 (Royal Mile Whiskies)

- Benrinnes starts at ~£22 (Royal Mile Whiskies) e.g. Signatory Vintage 1989 11yo 43%

- Highland Park OB 12yo is ~£25 (Oddbins)

A bit above your price range perhaps but give Benriach Curiositas a try.

Purports to be peaty, it is quite tasty, maybe what you are looking for?

A moderately peated whisky ?

A step down from the Islay's and reasonably priced would for cartain be Highland Park 12y

Try the Ardmore, more smoke than peat but you'll know what I mean. Very nice

I highly recommend the Highland Park 12 yr. Although I love lots of single malts, HP has always been at the top of my list. When I want peat, I go with Lagavulin every time (even though my wife makes me hold the glass as far away from her as possible...).
