LOT DESCRIPTION

Teacher's Highland Cream. Bottled 1950s. Stopper cork with branded foil capsule. No capacity stated although likely 26 2/3 Fl Ozs. 70 Proof. No box.

A fantastic old bottle of Teacher’s Highland Cream blended Scotch whisky released in the 1950s with the classic gold-tinged label and beautiful tall-lettered font of the day. Teacher’s is a historic blend first created in the mid-19th century and this 1950s edition would have been composed around a generous helping of malt whisky from the company’s Ardmore distillery, which was built by the family of the original William Teacher to supply their blend in 1898 and remains at the heart of Teacher’s today.

Bottling Year: 1950s

Category: Blended Whisky

Country: Scotland

Bottle Size: NA

ABV: 70 Proof

William Teacher was a 19th century Glasgow grocer who began selling whisky in the 1830s and opened a chain of successful ‘dram shops’ in the 1850s. Teacher created various blends for his customers and began selling bulk whiskies wholesale, but the Teacher’s whisky we know today was the Highland Cream blend, which was eventually registered in 1884, eight years after William Teacher’s death.

Teacher’s descendants continued to grow the business, building the Ardmore distillery in 1898 and purchasing Glendronach in 1960. In 1976 Wm. Teacher’s passed out of family hands when the company was bought by Allied Breweries. When Allied was broken up in 2005, Jim Beam bought Ardmore and Teacher’s while Glendronach was sold to Pernod Ricard. Jim Beam was bought by Suntory in 2014, with Teacher’s transferred to the new Beam Suntory company.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly.
