Yamazaki 12, Port Charlotte 10 year old, Lagavulin 16, Caol ila 12 — four of my favorites around that price range that are a bit more under the radar than your typical macallans etc..
Port Charlotte is my favorite Islay it’s a huge winner among everyone I let try it

Sagamore Spirit Rye 8-yr Old, Kamet Indian Single Malt Whisky, Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter, Longrow Peated. All under 100 bucks here in CA. Enjoy!

None of the above. Smoke Wagon is the company name, nothing to do with the product characteristics. With that said, it’s one of the better MGP barrel picks out there with caramel, cinnamon and ginger notes on the palate and a milder abv bite.
Bardstown Bourbon fusion
Thanks for all the suggestions, I ended up going with a bottle of Teeling Blackpitts and a bottle of redbreast for comparison (have never had either). But I added a bunch of these to my list!
Eh Taylor, blade and bow, willett rye, balvenie 14/12, glenfarclas 17, any of the Irish spots, aberlour 16, Longmorn 16, aramut scotches, arran scotches

If they are whisky buffs already, I’d try to find something local that they are unlikely to have had before.
Belle mead could also be a good choice heard great things and it’s smaller production
Glendronach Revival. One most people haven’t heard of but everyone will love it.
Rising Star
Mellow Corn! Alpha move! In all seriousness, I would recommend the MM Fae-02 (Bourbon) or Redbreast 12 year Cask Strength (Irish whisky) or Hibiki Harmony. (Japanese whisky)

Love it, but was what got brought to the last shared tasting
Leopold brothers Bottled in Bond Bourbon.
Anything from Compass Box. Spice Tree or Story of the Spaniard are crown pleasers.
Milam & Greene Single Barrel is a winner too for bourbon.
