The Glenturret Distillery has an extraordinary provenance that is second to none in Scottish whisky. This provenance is built on an unparalleled history.
In 1763, a rental document of Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre refers to Thurot Distillery, the earliest known name for Glenturret. The Murrays of Ochtertyre were a Baronial family that owned extensive lands and property that they would rent out to tenants. This is the earliest record that we have of The Glenturret and it is this that gives us confidence to state that The Glenturret is Scotland’s Oldest Working Distillery. We are however, constantly searching for earlier records of this fascinating and historic distillery.
In September 2020, after more than 250 years of distilling, The Glenturret embarks on the next stage of its journey – bringing its exclusive single malt to thousands of whisky lovers worldwide. With a completely new range crafted by the highly respected Whisky Maker, Bob Dalgarno, this is an era-defining moment that unites Glenturret’s contemporary elegance with the distillery’s long-standing reputation for traditional craftsmanship.
