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.
Nothing comes close to this for an every day whisky. Malty, sweet and smoky with just enough peat.
Smooth and creamy taste with delightful hint of peat.
I've just finished my second bottle of Teachers bought in London "for the UK market." I drink it in the States because for the price it's a decent blend with some peat and a full finish. I want very much to say this UK Teachers is better, with more peat. I'm willing to admit, however, that my insight my be tarnished by starting the first bottle with no sleep for nearly 30 hours. But continuous, rigorous testing after a good night's slumber seems to confirm my original hypothesis. Anyone have thoughts on this issue?
Mezcal-like smoke with tingly peat malt leading into sea salt finish.
I bought a litre bottle of Highland Cream and was very disappointed to find it had a very strong taste of dettol. I will not be buying any more Teachers. I have tipped the whole lot down the drain.
