Interesting suggestions...
Based on my retail experience & talking with customers about single malts, I would recommend malts like Glenlivet & Glenfiddich 12's as the closest in flavor profile to the Glenmorangie. However, they're still up there in the price range...
In the less expensive range ($20+), Speyburn produces a very nice lighter malt that is rife with Honey. The Braden Orach will be getting hard to find, as I don't think they're producing it anymore. It's much lighter & has some more citrus-subtleties than the 10 year which should still be around and boasts a large honey-vanilla profile.
As mentioned elsewhere, The Tamdhu bottlings will be a rarity in the near future and our store is STILL selling at a $20.99 price point for the Tamdhu 10.
