The Teacher's 50 is a premium Scotch whisky, created to celebrate India's 50 years of Independence. The blend made from different Scotch whiskies consists of 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky.

History of the Teacher's 50 Blended Scotch Whisky

Although the standard expression from the house of Teachers is the Teacher's Highland Cream, the Teacher's 50, released in honor of India's 50th Independence Day contains a unique blend of single malt and grain whiskies is hard to come by.

The foundations for the Teacher's brand were laid by William Teacher in the 1830s, capitalizing on the newly passed Excise Act of 1823. He procured a license to sell whisky and began running a 'dram shop' where whisky lovers would stop by and feast on drams of their favorite whisky. Years later, when the Spirits Act of 1860 allowed more freedom for sellers to mix and create whisky blends of their own, William Teacher put his expertise to use by experimenting with several blends.

The Teacher's Highland Cream came into being during this time when William Teacher was positively satisfied with a peaty drink with a high malt content, a drink with a complex and rich flavor that made him considering naming it after his family name. After he laid the foundations for the Teacher's brand and created the quintessential Teacher's Highland Cream blend, William Teacher passed away in 1876, leaving the responsibility and the Teacher's' brand into the hands of his son, William Junior, and his younger brother, Adam.

Rampant growth under William Junior and Adam Teacher's authority saw increased sales and profit, the purchase of new land in 1895 to build a new distillery of their own in Aberdeenshire in 1897. Adam died a year later without witnessing the completion of his plans although by then, the Teacher's brand was well on its way towards glory. Surviving Prohibition, and a decline in the number of operational distilleries in Scotland, while also scripting victories by beginning to export Teacher's to the United States and the acquisition of the Glendronach Distillery defined the later years for the brand.

Fast forward to 1997, and the brand released the Teacher's 50, a 12-year-old blended whisky that commemorated 50 years of Indian Independence, strengthening their positioning in one of the world's most prolific whisky drinking nations.

Teacher's Highland Cream Scotch Whisky

Big, rounded, smooth. Full of crunchy maltiness. To drink this whisky is like biting into peanut brittle. Then toffee. Then liquorice flavours. 8.5/10' Michael Jackson, Whisky Magazine April 2000

Teacher's 50 Scotch Whisky

Created to celebrate India’s 50 years of independence, Teacher’s 50 is a premium 12 year old Scotch Whisky. Specially selected Ardmore malt, blended with grain whisky and aged for at least 12 years makes Teacher’s 50 smooth and mellow. You can taste this quality and you can see it in the golden glow of the liquid. We call it ‘The light of Scotland.’

Teaher's Origin Blended Scotch Whisky

One of the first in what Teacher’s owners Jim Beam say will be a line of new releases for the blend. The name “Origin” refers to the blended whisky’s aging process in smaller quarter casks, which would have been used by distilleries in the 19th century. This aging technique also allows for a greater ratio of wood to spirit, heightening “oak contact”, which Teacher’s claims creates a whisky that is 30% more mature. This blended dram contains 65% malt in the mixture, a high proportion, and uses over 30 different single malts with a large quantity coming from the unusually peated highland malt, Ardmore. On the nose the drinker is greeted with malty biscuits, toffee, sweet bright oak, peat smoke and dark honey. The palate is faithful to the nose, but adds a chewy toffee-led mouthfeel and a little bright cereal sweetness. The finish is dense and long with a lingering woodspice note. A lovely, smoky and complex whisky which offers outstanding value for money, particularly in this larger 1 litre bottle.

Teachers Origin Scotch Whisky

"A more traditional , fuller and richer blend, created using the most traditional techniques. The Ardmore 'heart' with its 12-15 parts per million peating adds a subtle touch of Highland peat smoke, the Quarter Cask maturation imparts a softer, deeper falvour whilst the combination of malts and grai whisky from all over Scotland add a complexity and a long finish. Tust one dram of Origin will sghow you why all that time & expense was well spent. Like William, it is a true 'Original'."
