I can also vouch for the Balvenie Doublewood. I'm no great fan of the peaty islay malts and the Balvenie was lovely. If only it lasted longer.... One Christmas I bought my dad the 18yo Macallan and managed to sneak a dram - mmmm, but I wouldn't buy it for myself at the price!
If you really like your whisky then there is a London branch of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society near Farringdon tube. If you know someone who's a member, beg them to take you with them someday - members can get two guests in and they have a decent selection which the barman will help you pick through.
