Unless you know the guys taste in whisky (or if he even likes it!) I'd go for champagne 
Shame to waste £100 on a great bottle of scotch if he's either going to drink it with coke or hates a specific type/region.

That was my thoughts as well... Shame to waste £100 on a great bottle of scotch if he's either going to drink it with coke or hates a specific type/region.

Fortum & Mason have a 2002 Dom Perignon for £115
Krug (non vintage is nicer I think) or a half case of Veuve.
As Someone who likes their bubbly but isn’t too hung on names I find that some of the ‘cheaper’ ones are just as quaffable as the expensive ones. Sure the expensive ones can be sublime but unless you are the sort who can afford £100 like it was a £20 to most people it isn’t very often you drink it and the occasions you save it for turn out to be the sort where you’ll need more than 1 bottle...

I doubt many £100 bottles are bought by the drinker, I'd think most are gifts.

Agreed,
Just me being Mr Practical
I love a bottle or two and would happily 'do a Churchill' if I thought it wouldn't affect my licence (wouldn't drive drunk even if it didn't though!) and I could afford the minimum £3,650pa it would cost
Hence 5 bottles of a quaffable number would get an even bigger smile than one of "£10 for the grog, £90 for the name".
