For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The one I've heard of, just off the top of my head (& considered one of the top 10) is "Bushmills" Irish whiskey. I don't know if they're stocked in Aldi, Lidl or M&S, but they're definitely in Tesco & Sainsburys, so; I would assume that at least one of the stores you mentioned has it as well, since it's a 5-star brand of whiskey that have their own distillery. Hopefully this helps somewhat, even though I don't know much about alcohol, other than brand names that stand out in my memory ... as well as my favourite brand of rosé wine or the few "alcopops" I know by name (which I've enjoyed only on the VERY rarest occasions). I only wish I could be of more help. 🤷♀️🥃😅
If you like Glenmorangie...and I hope you pronounce it properly...with a very soft a rather than the usual hard one. I used to be a member of the golf club in Tain, I would recommend a Tamnavulin, available in Waitrose and the Coop and when on offer around £22-24. Tesco sell it too. This may sound mad but, taste-wise, it has a hint of Lagavulin too it, even though it's a Speyside. A steal at that lower price, normally around 32-34
Shop around, nearly always at least one single malt on offer in every major supermarket. A couple that often come up cheaper are McCallan( a fairly soft smooth less peaty one)and Glen Moray ( Sainsburys). I tend to go off piste when on the.... I like the Welsh one Penderyn, and the English Whisky Company Sherry cask matured, or Extra smoky which goes so well with strong cheese.
