Teacher’s traces its roots as far back as the 1830s – to William Teacher, a Victorian grocer who started selling whisky in Glasgow, Scotland. Teacher’s uses over 35 different single malt whiskies in its blend. These malts are balanced and harmonised delivering the same full rich taste that William Teacher created over 178 years ago. The blend has an exceptionally high malt content which gives it a richer full bodied flavour. Today, Teacher’s is one of the leading and largest selling Scotch brand.
