Smoke Wagon Desert Jewel Reserve

This is a bottle I didn’t originally know a ton about but was interested in. Not only did it have great reviews but with a sweet looking bottle, how could I not be ISO? I found this to be like a cross between EHT SiB and The recent Old Fitz 13 decanter. Drank along side Smoke Wagon small batch, Michter’s 10 Bourbon 2019, and Barrell Bourbon 15. I would rank this 2nd best of the night, puting this slightly ahead of M10 ( the higher proof helped) but not the Barrell 15, yo, which is one of my favorites.

I know this isn't sweetened, but I almost can't believe this isn't just syrup. A perfect sweet profile bourbon with just a hint of spice and char. Absolutely one of the best bottles I've ever had or in my collection. It reminds me a bit of oaky, distilled maple syrup with a rye burn on the finish

Very alcoholic to the taste, can’t find anything else first night.
