You could buy a similar bottle retail from Peter Wylie and get it Fedexed to you for about $300 including delivery.

Alternatively, ask me nicely next time you're in the UK - I've one with a similar level I could let go for £80 ($160)

Seems pricey to me but to be honest I don't know the price structure in the states for older bottles.

I'm sure it's lovely, but at ~$300, you could get three bottles of 77 or 85 instead... just sayin' :)
