William, this looks like a pretty solid line and Jim Murrays characterization as ""FAULTLESS", "brilliant" and "complete" is impressive to say the least. Perhaps they will make their way to this side of the pond.

| I have had a few of the Glendronach single cask bottlings in the past and they have all been outstanding and going by Jim Murrays review these sound like they will be also. |

Hardly surprising as the Glendronach Single Cask bottlings are by far and away the best sherried malts available. |

They are back in UK and some EU shops.
I have bought 20yo and now I'm thinking of 22yo from 1989 as well. They are rather expensive but I really love their single cask editions. |

Yum! 
I'm sure they'll have price tags to match though! What kind of ball park are we talking?

They are not overly expensive but a bit on the steep side for everyday dram:
1991 / 20yo / PX Puncheon #3183 = 85 GBP
1989 / 22yo / PX Puncheon #5475 = 95 GBP |

Could be a lot worse! Last thing I need is more temptation though.
