Whisky Tasting 39: Teacher's Highland Cream from Scotland

You so called single malt purists, please please please do not look down on blended whiskies. Many blended whiskies are wonderful everyday drinks (and a few belong to the aristocratic league) just like the French and Italians have their everyday wines or Chinese their everyday tea. Before the introduction of single malt, blended whiskies were the drinks of the choice and rightly so. Grain whiskies are made from corn/maize and distilled using the more effecient continuous stills and they are mainly distilled in and near Glasgow. Famous traditional blends are many such as Johnnie Walker, Famous Grouse, Stewart Cream of the Barley, J & B, Black & White, Teacher's...The teacher's has a volatile sweet grainy nose, old sherry wood and a hint of peat. The spirit while moderately complex, is friendly and easy to understand. Sweet corn and malt with a hint of smoke and peat. Very well balanced and revitalising. A superb all round sipping blend. (Rating 83-85 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

I never drink before Sundown, nor after Sunrise. Between those times or specific dates, I've no recall. Whisky is good. -Always my friend. -Always.

Our Oriental friends truly love whisky, & it shows. Cheers.

The Whisky is a miracle. Truly Scotland's greatest ever artefact.

HI! Very interesting and informative especially to a neophyte whisky drinker like myself.. I do house sales and cleanouts, and I just came across a wooden case of 12 Teacher's Highland Cream 4/5q bottles sealed; any takers? What do you think the value per bottle would be.. from the late 50s early 60s I think. Thank you! -vP

I have absolutely NO idea of how much this bottle worth?  Perhaps you can google a bit to see?!

Drinking this right now. It really is not bad at all. One of the best cheap blended whisky's I've ever had.

Fior budget hunters - this is the one that falls into my Price/Quality ratio. Ultimately, we also have to understand what characteristics / styles we are looking for...just like they say people drink champagne from selected house styles...

I really like Teacher's. I never really had any whisky(very little). Recently bought a bottle of Teacher's for its low price. Now I want to try more whisky because of it.
