A solid re-introduction to this brand after way too long of a gap. But thankfully Revival and the other whiskies to come here are worth the wait.

The telltale fruit of these whisky is there in spades eventually giving way to more earth driven flavors of rich malt and delicate oak.

With the Parliament’s passing of the “Excise Act” in 1824, licensing fees for distilleries were much cheaper.
