Reviews for Teacher's Highland Cream
Bad, bad, bad
Nothing exceptional about it, to me. Not smoky, not sweet, just bland and completely off-putting. Deliverer of a surprisingly powerful headache, too.

think it's changed -hmm
Not sure if it's as good as I remember it a couple of years ago. Has my palate changed or the whisky? Think there was a hint of smoke before, but maybe just a bare trace now. Nose is a bit like I remember it, but weaker- tiny hint of acetone. Taste- Vanilla and cream seem to be the starring notes- with a bit of liqourice and toffee. Bit of fruit- slighly melon- Feels lighter in mouth than of old. A quiet, longish finish with a lingering touch of bitter. Still a lot better than Grouse, Bells, Grants, Whyte and Mackay. A ghost of its former self though. Those I would give 1 to 2 out of 5-

Never Again!
Smells like solvent and does not even testes like Whsiky. It´s just bitter and sweet. When the store won´t take it back, it goes down the drain.

Impossible to star
The problem with Teacher's is when you buy it you are taking a gamble. It can be a blend of great quality (I had one that was absolutely stellar once - would knock entry level single malts out of the park) and it can be absolutely terrible. They seriously need to sort out their batch variation problems.

It was once the greatest blend
OK,I'm a geezer.Teacher's was rich, balanced,smooth & complex in The Day. Schieffelin ( sp!) told me in '72 that they'd gotten the same blend since Repeal. No, it ain't the same now! I'll venture that what's missing is a Glendronach signature (Teacher's once owned it). I also miss Bell's 12 & Vat 69 Black, but that one's on Diageo.
