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, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. 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.
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 any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity 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 and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these 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 on this page.
