- Description
- Yula is a blended malt from Douglas Laing combining peated malts from Islay and the Islands, aged for at least 20 years, creating a rich, maritime expression. The blend balances Islay's characteristic smoke and salt with the Islands' sweeter, fruitier undertones, resulting in a nuanced peated dram without harshness. Twenty years' maturation provides depth and smoothness alongside well-integrated peat character. Named after Norse mythology, this inaugural release suits drinkers seeking a sophisticated peated blend with gravitas.
