Heck, not even that. If you’re just talking the bog standard Glenfiddich 12 yr, that retails for around $30 here. Cutty Sark is around $20. Both are 750 ml prices.
I’m just impressed you could tell the difference- it all tastes like burning to me. 
The switch was not the bad part, the bad part was trying to convince you that it was great stuff- that’s insulting. That’s exactly like one time I bought some piss poor pot, and the next day the asshole said “that was some good shit wasn’t it”, like I was buying the first bag of my life. It’s bad enough to give someone shit, it’s ten times worse to come back and tell them how great it was, like you don’t any better.
Invite him over to you house and serve him a glass of urine. See if he can guess how old you are.
Yeah, I guess I was concentrating on the “piddling” part rather than the actual numbers, but that’s even less of a difference than I would have thought. So Bricker’s host was dishonest, shallow, cheap and petty. Nice. 
What a sleazebag.
So he considers friends he would invite over to parties “rubes?”
[nitpick] It’s Snooty McSnooterson [/nitpick]
Anyone who would even consider giving me “adulterated” Scotch is NOT my friend. Ewww. (puking smiley)
Bars pay some additional taxes on their liquor in many areas, refilling bottles with consumer packaged product would be dodging those taxes therefore illegal.
Get thee a nice Macallen, maybe the 12 y.o. for starters. You’ll know.
As QtM says, nice restraint, B.
So, it sounds like everyone’s in agreement.
Bricker should change his username to “Snooty McSnooterson”.
Snooty McSnooterson, Esq.
It’s even snootier, and accurate! 
Yeah, because it’s like, a Scottish name, right? And this thread is about Scotch, heh, heh! 
Snooty MacSnooterson?

Excellent. That’s actually more like it; good job. So that’s how *I’ll * think of him, anyhow.
I only came in to say that Snooty McSnooterton would roll off the tongue better. Other than that, I agree the guy was a douche and you handled yourself well.
And not even a real douche, but just plain old vinegar and tap water poured into the empty Massengill bottle.
You win the internet.
Well, that’s what I get for drinking Scotch mixed with lime Kool-Aid[sup]TM[/sup].

Try freezing them…one will freeze first, and you can drink the other one. If you get sick, you drank the antifreeze, and you’ll know for next time.
