Robert Hicks, Teacher’s master Blender, added, Teachers 25 Year Old is the oldest Teachers blend that has ever produced by us for sale and has been specially created to show how important it is to Teachers. The blend is so rich and full of flavour and stays true to William Teacher Senior’s guiding principles of a high malt content blend. If he were here now he would be exceedingly proud of this supreme Teachers blend. While, Teachers Highland Single Malt is produced at Ardmore Malt distillery in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland and was designed and built in 1898 by Adam Teacher, one of the sons of William Senior. Adam wanted a very individual single malt whisky to be distilled for use in Teachers and to achieve that he selected peat from New Pitsligo for kilning his malt back in 1898; we continue to smoke our malted barley using New Pitsligo peat to this day to ensure the quality - a quality we are proud of and dedicate to you.
Teacher’s 25 Year Old – the highest note yet in William Teacher’s legendary quest for perfection.

Teacher’s 25 Year Old is a rare and exclusive blend of the finest Scotch whiskies, available in individually numbered, exquisitely crafted ceramic decanter carriers to preserve exclusivity. This expression is distilled, matured & bottled in Scotland. It contains an unusually high percentage of malt whisky. In particular the main flavours are provided by our own Ardmore Single Malt from the Ardmore distillery, which has been producing the finest Highland peated malt whisky for the Teacher’s family since 1898. To create the blend, only the finest aged casks of at least 25 years of age are first hand selected, followed by the art of blending – which is more art than science – to craft the finished spirit. The result is a supremely characterful, rich and smooth blend with subtle hints of unique peat smoke.
TASTING NOTES:
Colour: Bright Gold
Nose: At natural strength the immediate aroma is of spice and fruit, a trace of cinnamon and possibly nutmeg that encapsulates the peach and sweet orange creaminess that has a slight hint of lemon backing. With a trace of water the whisky opens to a multitude of additional flavours that gives the whisky a magnificent complexity. The mix of soft red apples, spice and a touch of sherbet are strengthened by the distinct tang of highland peat that then finishes with a soft creamy caramel sweetness.
Body: The vast complexity is well balanced by the rich sweetness
Palate: Again without water the taste is round, smooth and soft with touches of spices, fruit and peat smoke. Just a touch of water allows the mass of fruit and many soft spice flavours to develop. This slowly fades into the tang of smoky peat that is well balanced by the nutty creamy oak flavours.
Finish: Initially sweet but fades into a surprising dryness that allows the smoke to linger on for ages
Teacher’s Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from the Ardmore distillery in the Highlands of Scotland, established in 1898. It is distilled, matured and bottled in Scotland. A 100% peated Highland malt, the spirit is lightly, yet entirely peated – and has been so since 1898 when the Teacher’s family first decided to build a distillery in the Highlands. From the beginning, Ardmore was designed to create a very high quality malt whisky which would form the heart of Teacher’s Highland Cream, the Teacher family’s famous blended Scotch whisky. Today, Ardmore still uses the highest quality production methods, including traditional wooden wash backs and peats it’s malt with peat taken only from the Highlands. The result is a rich, complex malt whisky with very balanced smoky notes – the result is Teacher’s Single Malt Whisky.
