I love HP, so an excellent recommendation there. But another direction you might consider is a malt whisky or two that, given his proclivity to Dewar's when necessary, are historically known components to the Dewar's blends.
If you went this direction, here are a few distillers to try: Aberfeldy, Laphroaig, Oban, Lagavulin, Highland Park, Glentauchers, Glenfarclas, Craigellachie, Glen Ord, Glen Deveron (Macduff) and Cragganmore.
Glenfarclas cask strength runs around $90, or you could give two bottles like Aberfeldy 12 and a Highland Park 12...
