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.
Very woody. Certainly smokey taste. Enjoyed making hot whiskies with cloves in slice of lemon and adding sugar.
In the 40 years I have had my nightly double tots of highland cream I have not found any other brand of whisky to match my tastes however I find the supermarkets I have always purchased teachers highland cream whisky from no longer sell teachers whisky is there a reason why.
Do not like this whiskey, I am an avid whiskey drinker, and always drink it straight, however, not only could I not drink this whiskey straight, I could barely stomach it with various mixers. It tastes as if there is anaseed in it and it is an extremely powerful taste that lingers in the mouth for much longer than you would like it to. I do not recommend this whiskey, but, yanno, do you or whatever
Had a miniature bottle unopened on the fridge, which I’d received as part of a secret Santa gift last year! I’d recently finished the last of my ‘finer’ whiskies & was after a quick dram. Wasn’t expecting much, but was quite literally blown away. A very tasty blend indeed. Perfect balance of sweet & smoke & surprisingly smooth! Would highly recommend for a budget dram. Could easily pass for a more expensive whisky!
It's not high-end, but this is a fantastic budget scotch. Very flavoursome, and well-balanced. Good luck finding a better one at this price point.
