> super fancy whiskey and then sparkling white wine that you pick up at Lucky on sale.

Off the shelf Macallan and Balvenie bottles from his photo is what some Eastern European owner of chain of car repair shops would buy in duty free airport store when going to his annual Turkey or Egypt vacation, definitely not a "super fancy whisky" and a bad value for money.

Hilariously specific person you invented there, but I'd not sneer at someone offering me a glass of what appears to be a Balvenie that itself is old enough to drink. I happen to have a 12 year old version of that bottle but it wasn't even expensive enough to fuss over.

Those are Balvenie 21 and Macallan 18, ~$300 amazing bottles of scotch whisky. They're not worth the $ (diminishing returns after $50 bourbon and $80 scotch), and are incredibly poor taste when you're in the midst of a political fight with people who campaign on rent control as to not get evicted...

But they're great quality whisky.
