Teacher's Highland Cream
Blended — Highlands, Scotland

Teacher's Highland Cream is a rotgut Scotch blend now. Aromas of cheap grain quality chemical artificial grain whisky with a faint hint of iodine and toffee greet the nose. The entry is oversweet neutral grain spirits with a palate of oversweet neutral grain spirits. The finish is a long ashtray taste with a hint of spice and tainted with a chemical flavor resembling men's cheap cologne. This is on the level of the cheapest bottom shelf but at twice the price. Suntory Beam has made a big mistake. Teacher's Highland Cream is the new Schlitz Beer fiasco. It will never recover from this downgrade just like Schlitz beer didn't.

Nailed it. Beam Suntory has completely compromised this scotch. The Ardmore distillery was originally built specifically to supply the malt for Teachers and there were no official single malts from them, ever. However since Suntory took over they have used most of the output for single malts and I doubt any Ardmore goes into Teachers anymore - if it does it is absolutely not at the old level which was 50% of the content. Very sad.
