Looking for a solid Rye or Scotch for a Christmas gift

Hey y'all, I'm looking for a good, mid-grade Rye or Scotch for a friend for an Christmas gift. Something in $50-100 range. For Ryes I know he likes Taylor Small Batch and Willet Rye, and for Scotch all I know is he likes a peaty Scotch. Any recs or some of your favs to check if my ABC store has them?
