I need to pick up a bottle of scotch

Scotch is sometimes tricky unless you know the type he prefers. Do you know if he likes peated or not? The Islays will almost all be peated and they are renowned in their their own rite. The Speyside single malts are often pretty similar to bourbon since they spend a good bit of time in used bourbon barrels. Also have the scotch that spends most of the time in sherry casks. So, it really depends on personal tastes and there are good ones in each category.
