Why Choose Yula 20 Year Old?

• 20 years of maturation: Time in cask helps create a whisky with greater balance, richness, and maturity.
• Distinctive smoky character: Peated malt gives the whisky a memorable touch of smoke without overwhelming its other flavours.
• Maritime influence: Coastal notes add a fresh, briny quality that brings energy and character to every pour.
• Generous 52.6% ABV: A higher strength preserves the whisky’s full flavour and allows it to be enjoyed neat or with a little water.
• Excellent value: Enjoy the complexity of a well-aged whisky in a format that offers an appealing alternative to more expensive single malt releases.

A Flavour Profile Full of Depth

Yula opens with a confident smoky aroma, joined by hints of sea air and soft malt. On the palate, the peat brings warmth and presence, while the coastal character adds a clean, savoury lift. Its 20 years of age help round out the experience, creating a smoother and more layered style than a younger smoky whisky may offer.

The finish is long, warming, and gently smoky. It leaves behind a pleasant maritime impression, making each sip inviting and encouraging another taste. For those who enjoy whiskies with personality, Yula delivers a rewarding combination of power and balance.

Enjoy It Your Way

Pour Yula neat into a whisky glass to appreciate its full aroma and flavour. Adding a few drops of water can soften the alcohol strength and reveal more subtle notes, making it a useful way to explore the whisky gradually. It can also be served over ice for a cooler, more relaxed drink, although the higher strength is especially suited to slow sipping.

This is a versatile bottle for a personal collection, a special occasion, or a thoughtful gift for a whisky lover. Its mature age makes it feel suitably special, while its blended malt style offers something different from the usual single malt selection. It is a strong choice for anyone seeking a characterful whisky that feels premium without becoming unnecessarily costly.
