Perusing the offerings here in Ontario Canada, it is somewhat difficult to find single malts that sell at $60. dollars or under that are pretty good drams. However, they do exist and here's a list of them:

Glenrothes Select Reserve
Auchentoshan 12
Aberfeldy 12
Aberlour 10
Ardmore Legacy
Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve
Highland Park 10
Tomatin 12
Auchentoshan American Oak
Singleton of Dufftown 10
Glen Moray 12

I know the selection at this price point would be much greater in Scotland and elsewhere in UK. What would you consider the best bottles/whisky expressions available at the 37£ equivalent or less in your location for a reasonably good or tasty single malt?

Would have to check prices but prob very similar to your list although I don't rate the Glenrothes select cask, the toshans are of course good value and Aberlour 10 and 12 can be found for sub £32, Aberfeldy 12, glen Moray Sherry finish for around £22 is a must for me, Glen Scotia double cask can creep into this bracket and is great.. Paul John Brillisnce is around £32-35 and is a great malt too.. Balvenie Doublewood , and Caribbean cask just comes into the bracket and the Glenfiddich 15 can sometimes hit it.. There is many more too..

Wow clearly we pay more here. Think only the Aberlour 10 is close to $60 in Ontario from this list. Confused

Talsker/Dalwhinnie /Ardbeg are around 100

I'd like to try Aberfeldy 12, Benromach 10 and Bowmore small batch as well under 60.

I enjoy Glenfiddich 12.

Dalmore 12 is $50 and is quite tasty - roasted coffee, toasted toffee.
