Douglas Laing
Yula 22 Year Old Chapter 3, the final
instalment in a 3 part Island blended
malt whisky trilogy charting the
whisky's journey over the past 2
years.
 Glasgow
based independent whisky bottler Douglas
Laing has released the final whisky in
its 3 part, "Yula" Island blended malt
whisky trilogy. The 3rd and final whisky
in the series is Yula 22 Year Old
Chapter 3.
The Yula trilogy collection has uniquely
charted the spirit’s journey over the
years - each bottling showing how time
has influenced the story. The first
edition,
Yula 20 Year Old launched in
October 2015 followed by the
Yula 21 Year Old in September 2016 which was not
quite as smoky and a little spicier and
sweeter than the Yula 20.
Douglas Laing describe Yula 22 as a
complex mix of sweet peat, pepper, coal
dust, oak wood smoke with a
late-on-the-palate chocolatey sweetness.
I know those of you who have tasted the
first two outstanding instalments of
this series wont want to miss this final
part. I haven't yet had the chance to
taste this final instalment but
hopefully it matches the quality of the
first two and it should be interesting
to see what effect another year in the
cask has had on the whisky.
The
whisky takes its name from the eponymous
ancient Islay legend of a beautiful but
tragic Norse goddess, Yula, which is
perhaps a big clue to where most of the
contributing whiskies in the blended
malt may originate from. Douglas Laing
say that it is comprised of several of
Scotland’s most sought after, peated
malts.
Yula III is bottled at natural cask
strength of 51.2%, which is not much
less than Yula II at 52.3% and the first
release of 52.6% so it doesn't appear
that the angels have had much of a share
each year and as we expect from Douglas
Laing, Yula
III has been bottled without colouring nor
chill-filtration.
Yula
22 year old is a limited release of just
900 bottles worldwide and will be available from specialist Whisky retailers such as
Master of Malt while stocks
last.
