Dewar's is a blended scotch. If his usual dram is the "white label" variety (sometimes has a yellow label, but still says while label on it), then you can upgrade to an older bottling, like Dewar's Ancestor or Reserve (both 12yo), 18yo, or Signature. Other middling-good blends are Johhnie Walker Gold Label (retails around $70), Chivas Regal 12 ($40), If he drinks a 12 or 18yo, get him one older than his usual. If he drinks Signature, you'll be hard-pressed to find a higher-quality blend without breaking the bank. Bank-breakers include Johnnie Walker Blue Label ($200+), or a good single malt. Good single malt scotches are almost entirely a matter of taste, as each distillery's produce is quite autochthonic. If he likes Dewar's, he might like the normal Glenmorangie or the Glenlivet 15yo French Oak. If you want something exotic and unlike Dewar's, a peaty Laphroaig or fruit Macallan sherry oak bottling would fit the bill. If there are blended Japanese whiskies at your nearest store you could get him one of those for a change of pace. The cheap ones aren't so good, but the older and pricier varieties are similar enough to scotch, yet distinctive in their own way.

Johnny Walker or Chivas Regal would be similar. Dewars is a blended scotch, the scotch equivalent of red/white table wine.
There is a whole brave world of quality scotch known as single malts. Good starter single malt would be Glenlivet. Like varietal wines, there are 100s to 1000s of small single malt distilleries in Scotland.

Any blended scotch will taste similar, but as a Scotch drinker I would seriously suggest you move up and try some real Scotch. Single Malts, aged, GOOD scotch. I suggest a distillery called Springbank.
