Question about the Kavalan...

I'm a non-drinker, so I know nothing about whisky. However, I've been thinking about buying a bottle as a gift for my SIL's dad, who I know enjoys whisky. I see bottles of Kavalan in various stores, but I have know idea what to look for. I don't necessarily want to spend a small fortune for the absolute best stuff, but is there something that is reasonably good in the low/mid-range that I should look for?
