Brian provides a detailed review of Elijah Craig Single Barrel, a ten-year-old bourbon from Virginia ABC, praising its high proof which delivers a potent yet smooth taste. They describe the bourbon as having a slow and wide legging, indicating a high-quality spirit. The flavor profile includes sweetness reminiscent of maple syrup, warmth from the alcohol, and a blend of pepper and spice, ending with a pronounced oakiness and a slightly dry, long-lasting finish. The bourbon is rated highly at a "strong four" on their scoring system, where five represents a hole-in-one eagle and one a double plus lost end. They caution against overpaying in secondary markets despite the bourbon's high quality.
