Most of the specialist whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange usually get them in. They have only just been released so they may not have them in stock yet or have them listed on there websites yet. I would advise keeping a look out for them as they should have them soon and may sell quickly when they do list them. As far as price i think they would vary from around £60 for the younger bottles to £450 for the older.

When the shops sell out, and they WILL do quickly, try phoning the distillery itself. They don't have an online shop and will usually still have bottlings long after everyone assumes they have all sold out. They might even have some of the previous batches left.
