I would get a Highland single malt - not as strong as others if friend doesn't drink a lot of Scotch
- 12 year old will be less money $25 for Dalmore is the least expensive single malt I have found and they go up from there. I prefer MacAllen or Glenmorangie

Finally! Something I know a little bit about!!!
Here are a couple of thoughts:
For around $40 you can get a bottle of very nice Glenmorangie 12yr Sherrywood Finished Singlr Malt. The Sherry wood gives the scotch a smooth and sweet finish that is matched only by much more expensive and older scotches.
For a few dollars less you can't go wrong w/ Dalwhinnie Double Wood Finished (don't recall the age but the Double wood only comes in one age).
At about $25 you can grab a good Glenmorangie 10yr. If that is your target price - go get that bottle. If $40-42 is in the ballpark, go for the Glenmorangie Sherry (although the Madiera wood is also very good).

My favorite by far is...
<center><img src="http://www.bevmo.com/pimages/3550.jpg"></center><p>Lagavulin 16 year old. Very dark, smoky, and full-bodied with a peaty finish. Excellent on the rocks. The BEST with a stogie (in my view).
Lagavulin Scotch 16 Year
99 PTS BEVERAGE TESTING INSTITUTE. Outstanding aromas fill the glass with smoky peat, Sherry wood and sea salt; extraordinarily perfumed moderately full-bodied with a viscous mouthfeel.
750 ML
