[@bbqbrew1]

The thing about Teacher's that has not changed is the price. Thank you Teacher's! I have had some of the off batches over the last couple of years. They are still better than the mainstream blends. They have righted the ship as of late. Thanks Ralfy and all concerned. Teacher's is a jewel when funds are low and single malts are out of reach. I love it!

[@SkepticCat-pz1zz]

Highly underrated blended scotch, my daily go to choice.

[@OsamaBinSmokinTV]

If it's this label Teacher's yes, the newer version isn't that creamy. When I first tasted Teachers with this label it was addictive. Very sweet and cream taste for a 3 year old blend was remarkable.

[@brentwilliams7243]

Let's hope it stays underrated ! Good deal

[@Ivo--]

It's been 5 years again. Would be interesting to do a re-re-review. ;-) This might be a good baseline whisky to re-review every couple of years to see how the whisky industry has evolved.

[@juliandouglas-smith3066]

My Welsh uncle grew up in a pub managed by his mum, and he swore by Teacher's. I have followed suit and I absolutely love it. I enjoy Teacher's in a long glass with Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale and some ice. I find the peaty/malty flavor cuts right through the sweetness of the mixer. Win-win as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for another great review, Ralfy!

[@mjanovec]

Ralfy - Good points on the changing of our palate. I notice my palate changes almost daily, often based on what I've had to eat or drink earlier that day. Even our levels of hydration can affect our palate, since it affects our saliva production and taste buds. I've had whisky that has been disappointing one night that suddenly tastes fantastic the next night. Have the contents in the bottle changed? No. It was me who changed!

[@ORflycaster]

Sipping on some Teachers right now. It's my favorite blended Scotch, and brings a lot of peat to the party for a budget whisky. The Grouse is a good value too, but comes in second to Teachers.

[@JasonDebly]

You may be tasting Ardmore, but not GlenDronach. The latter was a core malt of this blend for a very long time, but no longer due to a change in corporate ownership. GlenDronach has been replaced with another malt and hence a lot of the reason for the change in flavor. At least that is my take.

[@bisonhappenstance]

Because of the surge in popularity, all bets are off. I would love a tell all channel on what's happening on the ground in the industry.

[@JackOfAllBladesCh]

A great daily drinker, my favorite 'budget Blended Scotch'. Not to mention that it's 43% ABV in the US!

[@ETS186]

I came across Teacher's by chance some years back. Saw the bottle at an airport's duty free, price was really good, looked at the reviews, bought it, and has not been disappointed at all. Sippin on my third glass of Teacher's right now... cheers

[@1961Humbucker1]

Thanks Ralfy for this re-review of the Teacher's highland Cream. I have limited experience with whisky and I'm not a rich person, so buying an affordable bottle once in a while is a good thing in my book. I just opened up a bottle of this stuff two weeks ago and I must say that I find it enjoyable and quite a bargain really. I figured that at this price, it wasn't much of a gamble. But I'm pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoy it. LOL

[@albertomolina3868]

Enjoyment factor is the most important factor. Price is second. I enjoy this $15 scotch as much as I do my$70 and $80 bottles. This is delicious scotch and the best value out there.

[@coslifehurts]

Great review. Quite caramelly/sweet for me now that my tastes have developed. I mixed about 150 ml Ardmore in an almost full bottle of Teacher's and amazingly, after a week came back to it and it tasted really creamy like the Teacher's I tasted 15 years ago. Teacher's Origin very similar and not so caramelly and a bit more depth.

[@koll789]

I swear by this superb whisky. I find it very consistent. It has shot up in price recently.

[@randyw41]

This review is 6 years old, so today 2020, I have to say that this is quite enjoyable. Still my go-to blend on a daily basis. Teacher's is in my top 5 for an affordable scotch...

[@steveevans424]

Only $10 in Oregon USA ! ! ! ......Ad a tiny just a touch of water and it truly gets 'creamy' - oily....a VERY good sipper for the cheap price.....cheers

[@epbski]

I consider Teacher's to be one of the best widely available, affordable, entry-level blended scotches. It actually has 45 percent malt whisky, which is a lot more than many other brands. Many blends only have 20 to 30 percent malt whisky, and some have as little as 10 to 15 percent, which explains why they often don't have much character. I often say that Teacher's is the value alternative to Johnny Walker Black Label. Obviously, they are made by different companies (Diageo vs. Beam-Suntory) and the whiskies that compose them are different, but in terms of peat and style they are quite similar. The main difference and difference in price is that Johnnie Walker Black is aged 12 years, while Teacher's is basically aged the minimum 3 years. But I feel that Teacher's tastes mature enough for a young whisky.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I just bought a bottle of this, it is not a bad dram for the price and offers some character, nice to have on the shelf which does not blow the budget

[@popeshaves5310]

its my favorite blended malt, budget whisky 43 abv taste great and $30 for a 1.75l...keep it in a decanter and my friends all love it when they stop by

[@neumar2001]

I'm from Brasil and I have enjoyed this! I got here because I bought a bottle of this Whisky, and I was not sure if I shoud buy it or not (because it is way cheaper than some other brands). I have not tasted yet (will do later!), but I actually wanted to say that I find so easy to understand you speaking, it is so perfect! Most of times I have to hear americans speaking english (that I am, and will always be, learning), and it is difficult to understand americans, but you, I understood every single word, it is perfect! You speak beautifully!

[@jrswanburg]

Thank you for continuing your posts and for re-visiting this blend also. Your videos and suggestions have greatly informed my purchases in the states!

[@justinnoble6506]

Love this blend. Tasted it first in Japan...it is widely available there since it is a Beam Suntory product. This makes an amazing Scotch and Soda. Even more so than JWR which was my go to. In Japan, this was only $7 for a 300mL...what a steal

[@graycloud057]

Super, incredibly underrated blended Scotch. Famous Grouse and Teachers are absolutely spot on !

[@Fr4ncM]

He's always fair. He has never disappointed me with his reviews, thing is sometimes you're in a rush and you don't have time to seat through a through review like this one, but with time these are definitely a blessing.

[@loranddeka]

I decided to try Teacher's for myself mostly because it's been mentioned by you a number of times through the reviews. For a first taste of peat and scotch in general I'll admit it's very different and challenging but I'm enjoying it. Thank you.

[@gerhardfrog]

Just bought myself a bottle of this. Good timing on the review! Probably the best blend I've tasted - much more interesting and characterful than Johnnie Walker Black.

[@evhvariac2]

Thanks for reviewing this. I got a bottle and am really enjoying it. Tasting it side by side with HP 12. The HP obviously has stronger more distinct qualities but for the price the Highland Cream is amazing. Plus $50 left over for a couple dinners.

[@evhvariac2]

I retract my last comment.

[@petrost1468]

This blend 86 points for me. Teacher’s Whisky very good Ardmore and glendronach distillery heart of Teacher’s. One drop of water and flavors come out little smoke little sea salt Sherry pepper vanilla honey green apple great stuff!! Cheap but quality Big!! Petros from Greece 🇬🇷

[@xiamengbaby]

There has not been any Glendronach in Teacher's blend for many years now. The distillery was divested and the supply of Glendronach discontinued.

[@bisonhappenstance]

This is a decent whisky. 43% here.... 17-18 dollars a 750ml in the NC, USA

[@chuckandrews5339]

Really enjoyed my bottle of Teachers. Smoke, honey, and slight ginger. Another blend I would like for you to cover is John Barr. Impressive as well.. 👍

[@petvrg]

Maybe you should re-review Teacher's Highland Cream again? They've changed not only bottle, but the whisky itself, looks to me. It now seems much more couloured, but I still love the peatiness. But quite sweet now. Wandering what would your impressions be. So long, malty manatees!

[@rd6425]

A friend surprised me with a big bottle of this today. I am looking forward to opening this up after work. Always appreciate your content, Ralfy!

[@rolfgris5931]

Seriously, I think it's time for a Lagavulin review soon. It's been a while

[@thewhiskybothy]

True !

[@peteacher52]

Wise words, my friend! I think you were saying that the bottlers would tell you to take a running jump at yourself and touch the cat when you arrived! A certain vineyard in NZ put out a justly popular cream sherry. But then (1978) for some reason, they let a sour batch slip through. They lost so many customers that recovery of reputation was not at their disposal. Once bitten, twice shy.

[@randyw41]

Ralfy I have to tell you that this stuff is so smooth, and I think quite tasty. I've tried black bottle, and I actually like the teachers scotch better. With a little water added, it is an excellent blended scotch. I had to do a bit of searching to find it in Indianapolis Indiana. I finally found it, and couldn't believe how cheap it was to purchase. Just thought I woul d share my opinion of this more than affordable scotch.

[@cairey]

Teacher's is readily available in the U.S. I agree completely as I too have experienced big variations among bottling quality over the past few years.

[@lhuziechakevichusa6374]

One of my favourite whisky thank you it's one of the best we get here in nagaland

[@ASHOKKUMAR-qq3kz]

How much for 750 ml in nagaland?

[@FairAtBest]

Can't agree more about our taste changing from day to day or whatnot. It's absolutely true.

[@robfut9954]

Bought a bottle recently for $16 USD! Sixteen! And honestly it wasn’t bad, similar to JW Black. And being 43% ABV in the US, it had some beef. Re-review soon?

[@andrewgillon6202]

Ralfy boy. Totally agree. The more whisky you drink, the drier your preferences. Are you visiting the glasgow whisky festival in may?

[@philipeagleton8447]

Another good re-review, very informative. My favourite by far was the comparison review of the Johnnie Walker Red Label. I mean, could a point be demonstrated more effectively than to be in possession of a bottle from the 1960's!!! ......Magic!!

[@dabell12]

Thanks Ralf to go back to the basic & heart of the Scotch Whisky. Teachers still very good quality blend for what we can get for our money.

[@raysangra4281]

Ralfy can you please re-review this scotch? I heard it's changed for the better now and would like to see your new thoughts on it malt mate!

[@66steevo1]

It's no Islay, but...the malt component is definitely evident; more so than on comparably priced blends. I was not impressed years ago, because I was drinking Laphroiag (one of the several best whiskies of all time). Teacher's, however, about 30% of the price. There you have it. Great video, by the way.

[@PoolsideCigarReviews]

Not sure if they sell Teacher's in the States. I'll keep my eyes open! Thanks for your insight and hard work, Ralfy! Take care!

[@Tooltrocity]

If you happen to be from or near the Chicagoland area, Binny's (our large liquor store chain found all over the state) carries it.

[@shuboy05]

Teacher's is owned by Jim Beam (well, Suntory now) so it should be available in many American liquor stores.

[@8fishee]

shuboy05 suntory ?! whaaat ?? o.O

[@shuboy05]

Michał Szczerbowski It's been the big whisky news since last week. Suntory bought Beam.

[@luc137]

[@Ciuciucerr]

Thank you for the review Ralfy.I have a question.What do you think of Tullamore DEW Phoenix LE and Tullamore DEW 10 Year Old single malt? Are they good to buy or no? Thank you again;)

[@Geardos1]

what do you think about the black grouse? I bought a bottle recently and enjoyed it, and I don't normally like younger blends.

[@cristianromascu6783]

I got a bad bottle which was horrible, a horrible bitter oil taste. After watching this i decided to give it another go and this time around it has been *wonderful*. This is now my go-to blended scotch...assuming i don't find bad bottles again..

[@graycloud057]

My absolute favorite! Delicious Whisky!

[@trespasser121]

For me, these blends are great on ice, still plenty flavorful, but with a different balance that will forever remind me of the first sip of scotch whisky, JW Red Label on the rocks, back in the 70's.

[@MillszAFC]

I just finished a bottle of this last night and it is my favourite NAS blend that I have tried so far. I also have a bottle of Ardmore Traditional Cask open and I actually prefer the Teachers. Never expected that. Maybe as I work my way through the Ardmore I will enjoy it more.

[@StevenCalwas]

I didn't experience a decline in the Ardmore bottles I had last year. Maybe Teacher's is watering down the single malt with more grain spirit? Another blend that might justify a re-review is Compass Box Peat Monster. They've added Laphroaig to the blend which, to me, completely dominates and overpowers the other malts. Not saying whether that's better or worse, but very different from the initial review here.

[@AntisocialSka1]

Ralfy nice and cool as always. Teacher’s, I came to know it quite recently, great spirit, great value for money.

[@chrish12345]

tried this again December 2014 and amazingly they seem to have toned down the caramel. Also seems much cleaner and smoother. Yes there is some rough grain in here and the sweet finish, but the malt really shines through (still 45% malt content according to the website) - impressive.

[@rodrimas1]

Hi Sr. You are my Bible in whiskies,I have a question about the new teacher's. It's one on my favorites blended but I think that's changing the flavor,but I'll want know your opinion. Sorry for my bad English.Thanks Sr.

[@Powerslider]

Again an excellent re-review! I hope you will re-review the Glenmorangie too someday.

[@raydexeter8314]

I bought a bottle at the local Co Op last week on offer at fifteen quid. Usually I only drink the single malts but seeing some of your previous reviews of blended I thought it was worth a try. I was not disappointed, the malt is there in strength and although the sweetness surprised me the kick of the grain tempers this and makes for a somewhat pleasant tipple, although the sweetness does becomes a bit much after a few. Agree completely with your review, this would be a good whisky for the newcomer to try and is not out of place in the more experienced whisky drinkers cupboard alongside the single malts.

[@thewhiskybothy]

there are some good whiskies off the radar !

[@paulabramovici5600]

i've been lucky, never had a bad bottle, and for $ 14.00 a bottle in florida it is good value

[@macrocosmicorbit3982]

Would love a re-review of this. a couple of years ago it wasnt great, but now its back to its former glory ( I first drank it maybe 20 years ago) and it tastes as good now as it did then. And it spanks the behind of many NAS single malts and a couple of age statement ones as well !

[@tyhargett5197]

Ralfy just tried last year. This is what i think now. Theres alot of new cask influence like striaght american treatments. STRS casks show there face. This leads to a lot of vanilla. Theres alot oak mixed wih with barley. Butterscotch. Some peat. So cheap in usa 13$a bottle. Very worth it in my opinion.

[@davejss]

I don't know, Ralfy. I usually concur with your reviews, this time however I do not. I bought a bottle a while back based on a review in a different site. It was without a doubt one of the worst whiskeys I've ever tasted. I thought it deserved another try, so I picked up another one last week. It tastes medicinal and metallic and just plain bad. Maybe it came from the same batch as the one I first tried, or maybe I just don't like it. It reminds me of really bad Canadian whiskeys. I'm oddly happy that I don't like it. I was starting to think that I was succumbing to the power of suggestion, and liking it just because you and others do. Anyway, nice review as usual. Keep up the good work!

[@rick-ry3kj]

lol the bottle kinda looks like a Listerine bottle.

[@siwanundmuthy6224]

On my side....on first taste very smooth. Silky...caramel sweet...little smoke.... dangerous whisky....very easy going

[@PeatSmokey]

Hello Ralfy. in WR143 you mentioned fairly seriously that you were chatting outside "Your Distillery" good for you mate! You dont talk much about it anymore. Are you running a Copper Pot Still. ...propane or wood fired? Any release dates for your Mitchell Malts? greatstuff.

[@ani7chat]

Thank you for the review Ralfy !! great channel and great review. Love all of them

[@1sdrogers]

I'd love to hear a re-review of this. I still say Teacher's is one of the best blends available. It puts blends more than double it's price to shame (JW, Chivas, Naked Grouse, etc.)

[@alansmithee4895]

As a Scotch newbie, I like this one. Scotch to me is usually too woody/bitter/acrid compared to American whiskeys. I like some sweetness. I love the smokiness in this. It reminds me of mezcal. I hear that it is artificially colored. : (

[@PeatSmokey]

Agreed! things are getting out of hand. There was a time I would drop $200-300/month to the online brokers...but not anymore. It really is a crap shoot and one can just read the comments that afford testament to this this fact. If things aren't "that bad"/"that good" in which direction will the balance shift? Is it up to us to spend big dollars to find out?? Isn't that what "reviews" are all about? I often feel that there is a subtle bias between the industry and many review sites...not all of them but its becoming clear when these $60-70 bottles of scotch are disappointing at best. Its becoming a trust issue and I have not heard the "real truth" from any commentator. We do however get "truthiness" that little area between fact and fiction and its up to folks like Ralfy to give it to us straight, neat if you will with nothing ambiguous or watered down. I no longer am playing a guinea pig for the industry there's just no future in it. Peace

[@evgenrus1566]

Thank you for review. Teachers maybe better to $ 25 so, that better Teachers or Black Bush?

[@stormrealestate]

I may have mentioned it before, but I would love to see you review Bank Note. It is easily my favorite blend for the price. In my opinion it is along the lines of a young JW Black. Perhaps because of its youth, but I find it has greater character (though does taste a bit green) than JW Black. It is also bottled at 43% rather than 40%. I see it coming onto the radar for more whisky sellers online as well.

[@thewhiskybothy]

I will look out for this one !

[@Pranav_m_Mistry]

My preferred whiskey is ascending of my budget are Teachers Highland Cream > JW Double Black > Glenmorangie 10YO. Would you mind suggesting an alternative to teachers.. with similar flavour and in particularly smoky characteristic of it. So I might try them out. Can you suggest?

[@moodyplus]

+Pranav Mistry Black and White. But not as smokey.

[@Peterowsky]

Teachers has been my go-to for almost 8 years now, since down in Brazil it is pretty much the cheapest stuff you can get, and even when it's not so great it kicks the arse of just about anything else near twice it's price point. The quality has indeed varied very much from 2013-ish to a big dip that seems to happen every few months or maybe every few years. Flavour profile, aroma, bite, everything changes, and while that is not a bad thing in and on itself, the changes in quality were rather drastic. A good lot gives most stuff twice, thrice or even four times it's cost a run for it's money, but bad lots make it stand for a cheap whisky (to be fair, it is). EDITING because I didn't realize that I didn't give a ballpark. Teachers costs from £10-20 a bottle, while just about anything else (that's not a Brazilian "whisky") costs £30-100. Yes, converted for your convenience.

[@oliverbamford2879]

I've got a bottle from 2013 not opened would it be worth anything or taste nicer than normal ?

Ralfy, I've always wondered where it is that you do your reviews. I know that you mentioned it at the end of this video, but my Midwestern U.S. ear can't quite suss out what you said. It sounded a bit like "Max Bothe in the Isle of Man". Was I even close? I always enjoy your reviews!

[@ExiledOzi]

"Manx" = from/of the Isle of Man "Bothy" = a basic shelter / ruined building that has been repaired / wilderness hut / semi-legal drinking den So yeh you were pretty close mate ;)

[@sebastianosukulson3577]

I happen to like Teachers Highland Cream, and have done for years. I like Highland Park 12. Taking those two, some times I like Teachers more, some times I like Highland Park more. I buy Black Bottle, too, and like it. I try new whiskies. Some times I don't like them at first. but I find with a few tries I discover what is good in them.

[@mattaspinall3920]

Highland Park 12 is my 'everyday' single malt. I bought Black Bottle recently (old style) and have really enjoyed it so far with it's slightly smoky fruit style. A decent dram for the price! Teachers I can take or leave however. Drinkable but that's about it but I suppose that's the aim of it

[@PinkStoneatWork]

Thanks for your reviews Ralfy, next week me go to the Whisky Live Festval in Spa (Belgium). hope to find new intresting stuff! Had you tasted the Whisky 'The Belgian Owl' already? Best wishes from Belgium.

[@johnzajac9849]

I would add a point because of the very affordable price, Ralfy.

[@coslifehurts]

In respect of Teacher's, Suntory has advised the percentage of peated Ardmore in the blend has reduced as they compensate for the extra peatiness coming through from the use of ex-Laphroaig barrels. They have over 20 different malts and 3 different grains in the blend, Ardmore was and still is making up 15% of the full blend, Glendronach was part of the blend, less than 1% of the malt and therefore less than 0.5% of the blend. Glendronach as a single malt is normally Sherry Matured, the stock for Teacher’s was not sherry matured and none of the stock is sherry matured. The 0.5% of Glendronach is no longer part of the blend as the new owners, The BenRiach Distilling Company, no longer trade Glendronach. Others include Aultmore, Auchroisk, Balmenach, Benriach, Dailuaine, Fettercairn, Glenfarclas, Glenrothes, Linkwood and Pulteney.

Hi Ralfy.. You mentioned this is for folks who like little bit of peatiness but not an Islay fan. Could you please recommend me some more similar whiskies which are lightly peated and smokey but not overwhelming. thanks.

[@somnath2775]

Thank you :).

[@polyfusia6970]

Surprised by this. I tried three or more bottles over a year or two here in Canada just to make sure it wasn't one bad bottle, and they were all dreadful. Like 68/100 level bad. Tasteless stale watery peat and not much else. I had to make sure it was bad because it used to be my favourite blend by far. Perhaps I'll give it another whirl one of these days, but I hate being ripped off.

[@martinlang4479]

My dad used to drink Teacher's. It was affordable for him. I hated it. Maybe I can give it another chance.

[@boilerbonz]

I bought a bottle recently out of curiosity when it was on sale -- I find the flavor to be plain and flat except for an odd sort of peaty finish that is reminiscient of the smell of dried sweat socks. IMO, most comparably priced blends, such as JWR, Dewars WL or Grants, are far better.

[@markbahnamov3974]

Hello Ralfy, Can you please review Cutty Sark Blended Scotch whiskey? Thanks a bunch!

[@deinfluencing]

This whisky has become my go-to whisky for everything, cooking, mixing, sipping, and getting sideways at parties. Ardmore is a delicious whisky and this blend is much better suited to me than Johnnie walker red/black (most of the time)/ gold, Grant's, Ballantine's etc. Again, my go-to whisky under $50 (LCBO prices)... rest of the world you can get single malts for $50. Oh and it's very peated, the hipsters keep out of my bottle!

[@danielwilliams742]

Is bells whiskey rated? one reviewer says its not a good blend?

[@tyhargett5197]

Ralfy, just got to say this is the first time I tried teachers blend tonight. I bought it because it was 17$ a liter bottle in America. There's only a few scotches that can beat that! This had some peat on the nose, and some rubbery medicinal stuff and grain and wood stuff. The taste wasn't as good. Vanilla, carmel, but very bitter. Your opinion, is this legendary blend going to be killed off, or relegated to the bottom shelf. Thanks in advance

[@thewhiskybothy]

. . . it's not what it used to be !

[@tyhargett5197]

ralfydotcom Glad I tried it for this bargain price. Was seen for much more expensive over the years and I always passed. First impressions aren't favourable, but maybe it will improve with time.

[@tyhargett5197]

ralfydotcom Also, bottled at 43 abv. I believe that has been changed, I wonder if the new branding and lower price mean a campaign for this in USA.

[@tyhargett5197]

ralfydotcom 2/3 of the way through now. It's much better. Great peat that's very different then Isay peat. Like a scorched top soil. Rich honey and caramel are also enjoyable. I wish I could find Ardmore. There's still unpleasant bitter tannins though. It takes a good bit of water for a blend and it helps. I think I'll buy a few of these liters though. Excellent price in US.
