25 years of Teacher’s 50 for India@75
Teacher’s 50, a premium scotch whisky, intended to commemorate India’s 50 years of independence, was made from different Scotch whiskies consisting of 50 percent malt whisky and 50 percent grain whisky. Now the drink is celebrating 25 years of giving a perfect whisky experience for Indian whisky aficionados.
Teacher’s 50 is notable for its high portion of fully peated single malt and to this day, it continues with its distinctive, rich flavour. Traditional distillation methods, including both large and small oak barrels, have been used to skillfully handcraft the malt and grains for Teacher’s 50.
The resulting blends are infused with Teacher’s Scotch whisky’s rich, smoky, and identifiable flavour. The whisky’s robust maltiness, with its rich amber hue and golden highlights, offers an extraordinarily rich and substantial flavour with a distinctly sophisticated smoothness which fades to unveil softer, fruitier flavours of apple, pears, and thick honey at the climax.
The consequence of maturation is obtained in two types of casks, first in American and European Oak casks, and then subsequently in Islay casks to give Teacher’s 50 a distinctively smokey and peaty flavour with a strong maltiness on the nose.
The whisky’s aroma profile is enhanced by a double maturation in a diverse array of American and European casks, preceded by a finish in ex-Islay casks. The beauty of the marriage of the bold flavours of malt whisky and the smooth complexity of grain whisky permits for a long finish on the palate, close to how the flavours of Mughlai cuisine linger. The rich aroma of kebabs, curries, and rice dishes, as well as its powerful flavours is an excellent match with Teacher’s 50.
