Single Malt may be McCallan 18yr old serves your purpose. 
with that being said, I would rather gift something different than Alcohol.

If your friend really into it... get some best Decanter and glass set ($100 to $150) - This gift can last forever.  Pair it with an 18 year old.

Blue label is only hype. It is still blended.

Yamazaki / Monkey Shoulder pair it with good personalized glass set. If you are only into scotch then go for glenfarclas or some such relatively non mainstream scotch. If I were you, I would pair some good whiskeys instead of spending all of it on 1 bottle.

Everyone that I gave Yamazaki or Monkeyshoulder to were happy with it. Balvenie or Jameson were not bad either.

For personalized decanters, below is an example.

P.S: I am a teetotaller. All my experience is from people that enjoy their drink and from the gifts I have given over time. So, please take my advice with a bag of salt.

nenu ippativaraki icchina vaatilo janala feedback prakaram, Royal Salute is better than Blue Label annaru(amongst blended). Gold Label XR was the one worth the pricepoint in JW line ani feedback vacchindi. Did you try any of those? What are you fav brands?

my favorite is oban and mccallan. go to ante glen brands. also bourbon's if you can access distilleries in Kentucky area there are nicer stuff out there which are not sold commercially, I have tasted some of the finer stuff from that area don't remember the labels but my frnd had access to those bourbons coz he was a doctor there in northern kentucky area. 

oka 4yrs nunchi I cut off 99% of alchohol, aa 1 % kuda okati ara during personal milestone events like birthdays and anniversaries in my family. 

royal salute vundii intlo taste cheyali how it is.

$300 worth drink will go in drain within mins after consuming. Like DB peddallu suggests, buy something useful which can last for long time in$200 and buy any whiskey for less than $100, which tastes good.
