I don't like to recommend what I haven't tried, but in my searching I did come across "The Black Grouse". It is a blend of Islay scotches and should have some peat smoke. Keep in mind, I have a bottle, but haven't cracked it open so don't take my second-hand word for it. I think I paid <$30.

Depending on what cost is locally, Laphroaig 10 is a great peaty single malt. Usually ~$50. I really enjoy that one.
