Light cigarilio, heavy sherry, bittersweet. A soft, heavy whisky that is very drinkable.

Marko_I did not rate this whisky
Compared to the normal 12er Enigma is a little less elegant, but sweeter, milder, a bit earthier. With 30-35 € / liter in his time had an unbeatable value for money and if you still get it somewhere today, I would find 60 € not over the top, so delicious it is always.-
smoky-sweet, chocolate, earth, warm, moist hay, plus a light fresh breeze with salt and lemon
-
smoky, bittersweet grape nut chocolate with salt & pepper (mild), very tasty
-
medium to long, cocoa, salt, pepper, smoke remains quite a long time with a slight blackberry and licorice note

Mannheimer scored this whisky 78 points
Although the sherry share is slightly higher than the regular 12-year-old, it does not taste much better, even much worse. Indicates that a plethora of E150 has been dumped.
Too watery on the palate, leaves the impression as if it had matured in a sponge barrel. Bowmore got lost completely here. Fortunately I only bought it for 35.90 € in 2014.-
Musty sherry, rancid smoke and sponge.
-
Extremely watery, sherry and smoke do not play together, wet wood and a hint of milk chocolate and ripeness.
-
Shortly (luckily),

Bowmore 12 years Enigma In terms of color, the Enigma is a bit darker (according to distillery description "deep bronze") than the Bowmore 12 in the glass, which may be due to the higher sherry barrel portion.
The sherry is also the first controlling aroma in the nose. Connected with flowery-sweet notes (heather) and later added maritime (salty) flavors and some smoke a quite successful beginning of tasting. (84)
In the mouth, salty-sweet flavors continue, well integrated are some pepper and smoke. Furthermore malt, heather, hay. Overall, round and quite complex with medium sharpness (slightly less than Bowmore 12). (82)
The warming finish is of medium length in the throat, while in the mouth linger very long tingling oak and slight sweetness. (82)
