If you're taking the wee beastie don't take another peaty whisky. I'm not usually a fan of peaty whiskies at tastings, unless you're sticking to one distillery or you save one peaty whisky for the end. It's just makes tasting anthing else pointless afterwards imo.
As Chalfie says Arran 10 is always a good shout, anything from diago's flora and fauna range is a great way to discover some hidden gems without braking the bank. 10 years ago you could get the mortlach f&f for under 100 quid but the cat's out of the bag with mortlach so that one's the only one that's a crazy price.
The Dailuaine 16 or Blair Athol 12 are good options for this time of year, classic sherry cask bottlings, lots of Christmas cake vibes.

i really quite enjoyed the wee beastie.
had a few glasses of ardbeg 10 last night, as my wife let slip that she'd bought me a bottle for xmas, and i've got a 3/4 full bottle in the stash already.
i've got a whisky night coming up where the theme is 'age statement over 10' so i'll probably take that along as an extra bottle.
not sure what to buy as my main bottle though - i think we've already tried all of the obvious ones... any recommendations welcome! looking to keep it fairly reasonable though.
