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.
