Main question would be do they actually like Whisky?
The Glenlivet 18 would be a fantastic choice and isn't too pricey
Mmmm, 18 year old....sorry
Talisker is an outstanding whisky :thumbs:
Also consider Glenmorangie, Macallan or Glenlivet.
Avoid blends, although it is all according to personal taste
Glenmorangie 18 Year Old is nice but pricey.
