How about Bushmills Malt 21 year old?
http://www.bushmills.com/21%20Year%20Old.asp

I've got some12 year old single malt Bushmills, which they don't seem to
do anymore, as well as a bottle of their Millennium, which is 25 year
old. That costs around UKP135, so may be above your budget.

I've also got a bottle of Jameson Master Selection 18 year old.
