The primary aim of the Bo’ness Revival is to preserve the heritage of Scotland’s first purpose built Motor Sport venue, with Bo’ness holding a major, if unsung, role of Scotland in the UK’ s Motor Sport history. The Bo'ness Hill Climb Revival Club was founded to bring speed hill climbing back to Bo'ness and the first event was held on August 9 - 10, 2008.

“We’re delighted to see the Bo’ness Revival back in action for 2021 and it’s fantastic to have Cask 88 partner us as sponsor,” said Alex Hazlewood, Chairman of Bo’ness Hill Climb Revival.

“This is a perfect match of history, tradition, and craftsmanship made in Scotland and revered around the world.”

Cask 88 are an independent bottler of Scottish whisky, and also open the door to cask ownership for private individuals seeking to own a whole cask of Scottish single malt or grain.

“When coming aboard as sponsors of this much-loved hillclimb festival, we were lucky enough to find a cask of Single Malt that was filled in the same year that the Revival began,” said Cask 88 Director Patrick Costello. “Over the last 14 years, while this whisky has been maturing in oak, the Bo’ness Revival has brought more wonderful examples of classic car engineering to the track and put them through their paces; we’re thrilled to support their efforts to keep Scotland’s hillclimb tradition alive.”
