A very famous blended whisky, a rather good blend too. Jim Murray awarded Teacher's Highland Cream 90 points in his Whisky Bible.
Fruity, malty aromas. Just a hint of peat smoke with a good dollop of gooey toffee.
Soft smoke, barley malt and manuka honey. Hints of Malt-driven palate with soft spices.
Malt and smoke on the finish. Classic.
After my disposable income has disappeared due to my baby I have been looking for an affordable blend. Chivas 12yo is $50 NZ and very nice too, but teachers at 1 litre for about $36 NZ is more like it. I heard mixed reviews but just bought a bottle for my birthday, ( I must admit I bought some Coke just in case it was undrinkable straight). I am happy to say I think it's really tasty, lightly smokey with a nice finish and worth every cent. If I have to say a negative it is pretty sweet like all cheap blends but miles better than say Glen Moray. I can wholeheartedly recommend teachers if your budget won't stretch too far you won't be disappointed.
I'll admit to being a beginner with whisky and wanted to try something more challenging then the light sweet stuff I had so far. Nosing Teacher's got my mouth watering (how can that possibly be a bad thing right). An aroma of menthol and smoke greets you, tasting it gives a rich malt sweetness that really coats your mouth and stays after you swallow. If you're looking for something that gives a taste of how varied whisky styles are without spending a crazy amount of money, this can be a good choice.
To much straw in it, found much better in it's price category. Talisman, Bell's, Stewart's, Lauders etc. I do even think Royal Canadian was better..
The most complex blended Scotch out there bar none. Comparable to some single malts at triple the cost. Smokey and fruity notes make it a great every day libation. Cheers !!!
Once my all time favorite. Can't put where it went wrong. Keep trying every year but no change too bad. I hope it's gonna change because this was my first whisky.
