History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2004 by Jon Santer at Bruno's in San Francisco, USA and named after the Beatles' Revolver album after an argument as to the group's best track with a musician at the bar. The name is also appropriate, as this cocktail was originally made with Bulleit Bourbon.
The Revolver became popular after Jon turned his attention across town to Bourbon & Branch.
Review:
Depending on your coffee liqueur, this can be a tad on the dry side, so I've added a splash of sugar. Hence, according to your own tastes, you may want to omit/or increase the sugar, and if adding sugar, then also consider using muscovado or demerara sugar rather than white sugar syrup.
