==Teachers Whisky== now I may not look like your average Whisky drinker but I must say that after vodka it is my spirit of choice. I think the reason for this would be that it was probably the first alcoholic drink that I ever tried seeing that mum and dad would often have a couple of straight whiskies of a night time and I would be allowed to have a small one mixed with coke when I reached my teenage years. Of course I did often pinch a wee bit here and there when they weren't looking to take out on a night out down the seafront as young tearaways usually do (but I would never fill the bottle up with water so it was the same level as they would be ...  Read the complete review

We do like a drop af whisky in our household especially Capt Springtide. He says it is all my Dad´s fault because he first introduced him to whisky. When we first met a long, long, time ago he used to drink sherry.

Teachers Highland Cream is a blended Scotch Whisky and falls into the mid-range price bracket. I would say that being one of the older brands and not particularly well supported currently by ...  Read the complete review

Teachers is a very competent blended whisky. It is in the upper mid-price range: more expensive than Grants and Bells, but cheaper than Famous Grouse, and certainly cheaper than malt whiskys. Its defining characteristic is its smoothness: perhaps that's why it's described as "Highland Cream" (which I think is a delightful description). It has a silky, slightly sticky viscosity which coats the mouth rather than washes through it. However, for all it's velvety smoothness it has a fire to it as well. Teachers is not a peaty whisky, but it is certainly a malty one. you can really taste the barley. I prefer to drink it ...  Read the complete review
