Inspired by the Thistle, the national flower of Scotland that stands as a symbol for strength and beauty, the Teacher�s Golden Thistle is a blended Scotch whisky that has been crafted for a flavor that is strong and beautiful. Carefully selected single malt and single grain Scotch whiskies are aged to perfection for a minimum of 12 years. Matured in both American Oak & European Oak casks, these are expertly married together by our Master Blender and then further finished for a rich smoky flavor in casks that previously held Islay Single Malt whiskies. The result is a smooth and sophisticated smoky whisky, befitting of the name, Teacher�s Golden Thistle 12-Year-Old Scotch whisky.
