I have a friend who likes to brag about the 100-200 dollar bottles of scotch that he buys. As in, he doesn't brag about the brand, just how much he paid for it. Is there a good way to imply that he's a douchenozzle without actually just saying it?

my favorites are highland park

I was in Edinburgh on business a few weeks ago and drank a lot of scotch including Highland Park. It was quite enjoyable.

But I only brought Demerara rum back because it's the best and you can get scotch anywhere.

Some guy on my bus tour bought a bottle of 18 year old whatever and we all got hammered in the ruins of a castle

I prefer Balvenie 12 year to the 21 year old I got for my birthday so yes he's a loving garbage moron, the older scotches don't necessarily taste better, just different.

You drink an allocated bourbon with a 400% markup on the secondary market 'on the reg'?

I've never had the pleasure. I like scotch in general, and it's therefore generally good. I just think the best bang for your buck is within that sort of decade to decade and a half range.
