Bought and opened this bottle on 8/31/2011. It has been at less then half full (with no gas) for well over two years. This tasting was done June 12th of 2013 along side Talisker 10yo and Johnnie Walker…

This is from a 30 mL sample I purchased from Master of Malt. I don’t usually like to review small samples like this because there is so much you just don’t know. The great thing is that it gives a sense…

I have gone through a number of these bottles. There has been some batch variation. I find that even bad batches still have peat (unlike bad Grant batches). The problem with a bad batch of Teachers’ is…
