Glenmorangie is a good choice.
Black Bottle also a good price online.

And Laphroaig 10 at £31 which is as cheap as I've seen it in a long while:

After sober reflection, I’ll be keeping my wallet closed. Just back from a few days on Islay for joint 60th celebrations. I bought a bottle of An Oa at Ardbeg for £55, only to find its £48 on MoM. Hey ho, guess I got swept up in the romanticism of the location. Whole bottle got drunk anyway, along with some Kilchoman and Caol Ila. Feck it, you can't put a price on memories.

Currently £47.25 on MoM but add postage too…it’s then £52.20 so don’t feel too bad about £55. Given the amount you imbibed, personally I’d be struggling for memories
. I expect you had help polishing off the bottle(s).

The Ledaig Rioja Cask I've had for a while and wasn't initially that keen on, however it's definitely grown on me. I often drink it with a mixer - it's particularly nice with ginger ale.

I got a bottle of that as a freebie from Naked Wines and it's not bad at all.

Given your mention of Laga and Ardbeg, I'm guessing 'West coast' will include peat. In which case, one of the cheaper expressions of Bunnahabhain might suit. And the other is unpeated if not. If you can't decide which, there's a bundle offer on That Amazon ATM:

I have good memories of Ardbeg but it was pretty radical stuff. I used to drink malts 20 years ago with just water.
These days I drink very little, a bottle lasts me for weeks. And usually with ice, and I'm finding I like the Ben Bracken Speyside that way. Quite refreshing. So not necessarily West coast. I don't like sweet e.g. Aberlour and I don't drink JD or bourbon. Open to more ideas.
I've obviously gone very lowbrow compared to the whisky connoisseurs here. I'd put my limit at under £30 a bottle. So a good blended whisky is totally possible, though malts preferred.

Apologies, then. The unpeated Bunna Stiuireadair is £37, currently, and usually around £40 so probably not the recommendation you were asking for.

It's £27 at Sainsbury's with a Nectar card per my recommend above:
Offer price on Amazon was £25 for aeons but seems to have risen to £27 since last March. Note that I am getting a Subscribe and Save price of £31.85 currently.

I still think the Maclean's Nose is the best bet - £35.85 delivered from House of Malt:

Busts the £30 budget unfortunately...

That's interesting! I, too, seemed to remember getting the Stiuireadair for around £25. That was in my mind when I made the recommendation.

For a cheap Islay, I'd recommend Finlaggan, though it is still above your £30 mark. Not so long ago it was about £30, but edging up now.
If you want a classic mix of fire, salt, and sweet, then Talisker 10 was occasionally reduced to £26 at Sainsburys, but Diageo's reign of terror seems to have put an end to that.

If seriously strapped for cash you can do a lot worse that the Naked Malt on one of its frequent Amazon offers.
Long term I'd look for a decent cask strength bottle from MofM or similar and mix one part of that with four of Glen Keith.

The prices at Caol Ila last week were insane. £100 for the distillery exclusive, £130 for the fill your own bottle, and £225 for the 18 year old- ffs, I remember it being less than a quarter of that price. It’s a lovely whisky, but worth nowhere near £225 of anyone’s cash.
