Teacher’s Highland Cream Blended Scotch Whisky [750ML]

Teacher’s Highland Cream is a blended Scotch whisky produced in Glasglow, Scotland by Beam Suntory. The Teacher’s Highland Cream brand name was registered in 1884 but the label on the bottles says “est. 1830” to reflect an earlier date when the founding family entered the whisky business, before the brand name was created. The exact formula for the brand is a close guarded secret but Teacher’s states that it uses fully smoked peat single malt whisky from The Ardmore distillery as its fingerprint whisky along with 30 other single malts. According to Ardmore Distillery, most of the output from its production are used for the Teacher’s Brand.

The Company opened its Ardmore Distillery in 1898 to ensure a guaranteed supply of Scotch for its Teacher’s Highland Cream whisky blend. The brand continued its expansion then eventually acquired the Glendronach Distillery in 1960 and built a modern blending and bottling plant in Glasgow in 1962. In 2005, the Company was taken over by Pernod Richard and later sold to Suntory in 2014.
