Most good scotches are on the smokey side, so this is a tough one.

Talisker has a nice butterscotch flavor to it, without being overly smokey. Certainly not as smokey as, say, Laphroig or Lagavulen - stay away from those two if he doesn't like the smokey stuff.

HardDrive's advice on the Balvenie is spot on. Actually, any Balvenie tends towards the sweeter, less smokey end of the spectrum. My favorite is their Double Wood, aged in two different casks (I believe sherry casks to be one of them, but can't remember the other).
