- Description
- Yula is a 20-year-old blended malt from Douglas Laing at 52.6%, built on the foundation of peated Islay and Island malts aged for two decades. The extended maturation brings together maritime character, peat smoke, and dark fruit notes, balanced with warming oak and subtle spice. The natural strength and generous body make this a substantial, contemplative dram with a long, complex finish. Suited to evening sipping for those who appreciate heavily peated, island-influenced blended malts with depth and age.
