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.
For a blend this is a 'big' whisky. It tastes as though it has a high proportion of Islay malt in it. That is the iodine nose and flavour in it which some will love and some will hate. I have seen this characteristic described as remeniscent of distilled seaweed - take that how you will! If you like pungent, full-flavoured whisky this is a real treat and at a bargain price, but be warned - it's not to everybody's taste. But why is it now how hard to find in the UK?
Best scotch I've tasted. I love Mezcal and Johnnie walker red. This is like a combination.
Surprised by the peat level, had to remind myself it was a blend. Never tried before today. Will definetly get again
I agree with the many others that have said Teacher's is the best blended whiskey for the price on the market. I honestly can't think of anything better between this and Grant's 10 or Glenfiddich 12. I think the quality did drop for a bit when the bottle was changed, but the last one I recently picked up seemed to me like it was back to form. Some have complained about the peatiness/smokiness - limited but it's there - but I think that and the mouthfeel are the main draws here. For an Islay freak who can't afford to drink Ardbeg or Laphroaig regularly (as much as I wish I could), Teacher's is the go-to option. And bonus - it's usually the cheapest scotch in the shop.
Best blended whisky by a long way and the best whisky of them all in my opinion .
