Bowmore 12 years old Enigma - 1 Litre

The Bowmore Enigma 12 Year Old is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky originally released for the travel retail (duty-free) market. Description The Enigma is a variation of the standard Bowmore 12 Year Old but features a higher proportion of sherry casks (specifically Oloroso sherry casks) in its maturation. Consequently, this edition is typically slightly darker in color and richer and sweeter than the standard 12-year-old. This profile is balanced by characteristic Islay peat smoke—ranging from mild to robust—and a subtle salinity. The alcohol content is 40% ABV. (Note: the name "2007" can sometimes refer to specific hand-filled distillery bottlings from that vintage year or to the early production period of the Enigma series). Tasting Notes • Color: Deep bronze to coppery amber. • Nose (Aroma): • Classic Bowmore smoke combined with rich sherry sweetness. • Notes of raisins, overripe plums, and berries. • Hints of heather honey, vanilla, leather, tobacco, and a touch of fresh lemon or orange zest. • Taste (Palate): • Opens sweetly with the full flavor of sherry, dried fruit (raisins, figs), and honey. • Quickly followed by a warmer spiciness (such as nutmeg and white pepper) and pleasant, soft peat and wood smoke. • Undertones of black liquorice, vanilla, and a hint of seaweed/sea-salt salinity. • Finish: • Medium to long. • Ends dry with an interplay of oak, fading ash, spices, and a final sweet hint of red fruit or peat.
