YULA Returns: Douglas Laing Makes It a Permanent Speyside Single Malt

YULA Returns as a Permanent Speyside Single Malt from Douglas Laing

Douglas Laing Yula is back, this time as a permanent addition to Douglas Laing & Co.'s portfolio. Originally released as a limited edition, YULA now offers whisky enthusiasts an accessible yet characterful Speyside Single Malt at an attractive price point. Bottled at 40% ABV as a Small Batch, it aims to bridge the gap between newcomers and seasoned drinkers seeking recognizable, warm, and approachable whisky.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

YULA presents a sherry-forward profile without overwhelming heaviness. The flavor journey begins with sweet sherry notes intertwined with cocoa, dried fruits, and fine spices. These evolve into roasted oak, apricot, and vanilla that dominate the finish. The overall style emphasizes drinkability and coherent character without complexity for complexity’s sake.

Master Blender’s Statement

Cara Laing, Managing Director of Douglas Laing & Co., remarks:
“YULA has always been a brand with special potential for us. It combines a strong story with a clear identity and a whisky style that appeals to many people. We are very pleased to now establish YULA as a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky permanently in our portfolio.”

Release & Availability

Douglas Laing Yula is available at a recommended retail price of €34.99 for a 700 ml bottle. It targets all whisky lovers, from those beginning to explore single malts to those seeking a reliable addition for everyday enjoyment or gifting. This release is available through Spiritory, solidifying YULA’s place as a notable Speyside offering in the current whisky landscape.
