Tesco have hit a large chunk of their Whisky range with the Bargain Hammer and now they have a pretty great selection for someone wanting to pick up a decent single malt for around £25. Kinda feels like xmas has come early this year! Prices I saw include:
Cardhu Gold Reserve: £25
Highland Park £25
Laphroaig Select: £25
Glenfiddich 12yr: £25
Singleton Spey Cascade: £25
Talisker Skye: £25
Isle of Jura Origin: £25
Aberlour 10yr: £22
Aberfeldy 12yr: £28
Ardberg: £37
Glenmorangie 10yr: £26 (Still £1 cheaper at Sainsbury's at the moment)
Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold: £25 (Same price in Asda, this has been available around this price for a while so it seems like it will stick until all bottles are sold.)
All prices are available online and it looks like Amazon are price-matching some of these as well. I know Cardhu Gold Reserve is going for £25 at the moment I type.
Whisky newb tempted by the prices? I recommend tyou start with Bulleit Bourbon or Woodford's if you want to ease your way into Bourbon, but for single malts I would go with Cardhu Gold Reserve (known for its smoothness) and Highland Park (because it's very, very nice).
Sainsbury's are also selling Old Pultney 12yr for £25, another fantastic choice for single-malt starters!

AS OP suggested both Bulleit and Woodford, I'd confirm woodford.
One of my favorites and a very good one for the price
Unless I'm mistaken the Laphroaig select was suggested to me as one to avoid and I love their QC

You are not mistaken, Laphroaig QC is a fantastic whisky and Select is mediocre.

Yes, Talisker Skye at 45% , nice to loose some time.

Nothing wrong with the Laphroaig Select when taken on its own merits, although it's very different to the QC or the 10 yo so perhaps that's why it tends to suffer in comparison. Ultimately it's all a matter of individual preference of course.

highland park is very nice, sure it regularly comes up at £23 in Tesco though
