Teacher’s Highland Cream (43%, OB, blend, 1980s)
As you may know, Teachers means Ardmore! And old Ardmores can be terrific! Colour: full gold. Nose: this one is much more vegetal and grassy than all the other ones. A little rubber, then coal smoke, cut grass, paraffin, pencil shavings, ink, peat, beer… Very interesting but much less sexy than the ‘teacher’ they were using in their beautiful ads. Mouth: now we’re talking! Fat, big, punchy, peaty, candied, creamy… What a beautiful attack! And then come the lemons and the grapefruits, together with even more peat, spices (chilli!) and crystallised orange zests. Impressive, very impressive. Finish: incredibly long and peaty. Comments: this one isn’t a blend for nosing (but I guess no blend drinkers spend much time nosing their whiskies) but the palate is quite incredible. This would send many malts back to school – indeed!. Big peat. SGP:435 – 86 points (honest).
