Trumped Up Prices
Price of a bottle of Glenrothes Select Reserve single malt scotch whisky at Sam's Wine & Spirits: $41.99
Prince of the same bottle at Binny's: $44.99
Price of a glass of said whisky, at Rebar in Trump Tower: $57.
At least that was the price a friend of Drive-Thru unwittingly paid on a recent evening. The scotch list didn't show prices, but our informant assumed that a glass would run the typical $10-15 it is at other bars, maybe a bit more considering the locale. But a greater than 100-percent markup? Ridiculous.
