The Glenturret, nestled in the picturesque Perthshire countryside near Crieff in the Scottish Highlands, holds the distinguished title of Scotland's oldest working distillery. Its origins trace back to 1763, when a rental document of Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre references the site under the name Thurot Distillery. By 1775, a group of local farmers formally established the distillery under the name Hosh Distillery, taking over farm buildings at Hosh Farm for production. This remarkable continuity of whisky-making on the same site for over 250 years speaks to the enduring legacy of The Glenturret. The Glenturret embodies a philosophy of authentic, tradition-driven craftsmanship, blending generations of hard-won distilling wisdom with contemporary imagination. Historically, the distillery made use of peat during the 18th and 19th centuries, though much of its modern production has moved away from heavily peated expressions. The distillery has recently transitioned further toward unpeated whisky, allowing the natural character of its spirit to shine. The Glenturret's whisky's are known for their depth and complexity, reflecting both the rich heritage of the site and the pristine Highland environment that surrounds it. As Scotland's oldest working distillery, The Glenturret carries a reputation that extends well beyond its age. Its storied past, combined with an ongoing commitment to quality and innovation, has made it a beloved name among whisky enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
