Last year i tried to get him good knives and he didn't want them, so this year I'm going back to scotch, since he never turns away a good bottle. He likes single Malts but I don't know his preferences beyond that.

Scotch is hard since guys who are in to it have different tastes. If you can find out what he likes that would be the best option.

Macallans has a holiday box for $100 with one bottle of 12 year and one of 18 year. I hope to find this under my tree.

+1. This is the Scotch that ruins all others for me. You can spend more, but what's the point?

It's not the fine oak 17/18 year is it?

I saw something like that the last time I was at Costco. IIRC it was a 12 and 15. I'm sure most of your better quality liquor stores would carry such a box.
