A little help with Whisky

[Streeteh]

First off, budget is £50-100, it's for my fathers' 60th. There are some restrictions however (unless there's a really good reason to change the plan!).

Firstly my sister lives next to a specialist spirits shop, their website can be found here:

Obviously due to the location it'd be ideal if we could buy from there, especially since his birthday is next Monday (yes i know i've left it late!).

In terms of taste his favourites are Laphroaig and Glenfiddich which has led me to the obvious choice of:

I've tried a glass of this before and am fairly certain he'd like it and it's well within the price bracket. Is there anything else within this price bracket that is considered clearly superior? Obviously there's £30 worth of headroom so there could be something much nicer i don't know of. Aside from well known brands i'm clueless when it comes to whisky, especially up at this price range.

Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions guys.

Wow, far more depth and thought put into those replies than i expected if i'm honest. Thanks so much guys.

Just a quick update guys, i gave my sister a list of the ones suggested here that interested me and she popped down to the shop today. She had a decent conversation with the guy working there and he commended the list, saying they were all fantastic choices (so thanks for that!), in the end he recommended Longrow Burgundy Finish over the others. I did list George T Stagg which he said was brilliant, but didn't offer the value for money that the Longrow did as their quality was comparable, which goes to show he wasn't out to just make a fast buck (£60 vs £110).

Ended up being the last bottle in the store too.

Thanks again chaps, feeling really pleased.

My sister (who knows nothing about posh booze) was incredibly impressed with the service and will certainly return there in the future, so anyone that lives nearby it's worth a look, apparently the range on offer was massive:
