A little late... but our review of the War of the Peat, part 2, is online. On our website it is in German, but here is the English version:

Bottled independently by the German whisky shop @whic.de in cooperation with Signatory Vintage, his 9yo Caol Ila @caoliladistillery comes with 56.8% ABV. It is a very intense, peat heavy whisky, and it comes across as rougher, wilder than the standard expressions of the distillery. In fact, the 12yo Caol Ila is almost tame in comparison, and not just because of its ABV.
_
Nose: massive peat, maritime freshness, ash and salt – as if you were walking on a beach after a big fire has gone out. It takes a while until sour fruit like citrus and pine apple pierce through the peat.
:
Palate: still a lot ash and salt, but also pepper and the slightest hint of oaky spice. The fruit aromas are subdued even more.
:
Finish: long and warm, cold ashes remain
_
This is a very straightforward whisky. I can understand why Caol Ila serves as the peaty component of so many blends (Johnnie Walker, J&B, Black Bottle), and it is really interesting to see the distillery character unfold without reservation. I actually prefer that character to its more famous competitors in the south of Islay, so I am happy, but I am also sure this is a polarizing whisky.

Stonewood Woaz Review
[Photo by @klara_hase]
_
The German review can be found on our website, but here is the English version.
:
Do you like wheat beer? If so, this is the whisky for you. The Distillery Schraml @stonewood_whisky has a good claim to be one of the oldest German whisky distilleries, going as far back as 1898. They completely restructured their range in 2004, and the Stonewood Woaz is one of their core range expressions.
:
The name Woaz is Bavarian and means wheat, and indeed the mash bill includes 60% wheat and 40% barley. It is fermented with wheat beer yeast and that has a profound influence on the whisky. Our sample was matured for almost seven years in American white oak, although the label says five years. A few weeks ago, Stonewood officially switched to the seven year Woaz, but ours was close enough.
_
Nose: yeah... wheat beer. Sweet and ripe fruit, especially banana, and yeasty notes dominate the first impression, so that it is hard to escape the wheat beer suggestion. However, fresh citrus fruit and mango and apricot also make an appearance, perhaps a hint of honey too. The nose very well rounded and quite complex with its sweet aromas.
:
Palate: less fruity and heavier. There is now some Königsberg marzipan (i.e. flamed) and halwa. Additionally the oak comes through in more than one way; sweet caramel and a rather unexpected spiciness provide further depth and complexity. :
Finish: medium-long and well-rounded with equal parts of oaky spice, fruit and sweetness.
_
Well, the lasting impression is how close the nose is to wheat beer. But it is also a surprisingly complex whisky, and certainly a Bavarian whisky with a Bavarian soul. While not my favourite whisky I am so glad and happy I could try it.

We are a little late to the invasion’s second part, but here it is: a 9yo cask strength Caol Ila @caoliladistillery independently bottled by @whic.de in cooperation with signatory vintage.
_
I have not actually tried it yet, for I want to enjoy it on Friday but I can surely say that Caol Ila is my favourite Islay distillery. A detailed review will follow of course.

Almost exactly a year ago we joined Instagram, and what a year it has been! A lot has happened; we learned so much and met so many nice people that we only regret not having started sooner. Thanks to all of you!
