Well, here's to another 37 years with the same pair. (smiley thing, toasting with a tumbler of Talisker).

Bottle of Jameson's (from where whisky was invented) at £15.45 will outperform the lot of em

Edit: Just seen the price and realise that it was a joke. I misread it as £150.45

There is someone the I know that has done me a huge favour recently and as a small token of my appreciation I want to get him a decent bottle of whisky. Unfortunately I don't know much about whisky as I normally drink whiskey so I thought this would be the best place to ask, assuming youse can ignore the jagermeister for long enough to concentrate.

So, if you had £100-£150 to get a half decent bottle what would you get?

You could always get him something rare try here:
http://www.whiskyshop.com/Shop/?cat=1017
they have a few in your price range, stay clear of the ₤10,000 bottle though.
Although I tend to like Glenkinchie myself but thats about only ₤40 a bottle in the UK.

What did you eventually opt for?

As I'm no expert I went to a place that had some samples to try, and I settled for a 20 yr old BenRiach, a Speyside distillery. I didn't realise how lovely proper single malts were! Smooth, rich, full of flavour, not a hint of harshness. This could get very expensive for me on a personal level...
