Bowmore 12 Years Enigma

The Bowmore Enigma stands for a dark and mysterious scotch. This 12-year-old Bowmore was bottled with a large proportion of sherry casks. The sherry sweetness paired with the sweet honey result in an excellent combination. It has meanwhile been replaced by the NAS whisky Bowmore Black Rock.
