Distillery
Glenturret
Located in the heart of Scotland's stunning Perthshire countryside, the Glenturret distillery is one of the older whisky distilleries in Scotland, with a history dating back to 1775. Situated near the Glenturret Burn, the distillery draws its water from the surrounding hills, contributing to the character of its whiskies. Glenturret distillery is known for its commitment to traditional methods of whisky production. The distillery employs traditional copper pot stills and utilizes traditional floor maltings, where barley is malted in-house. This hands-on approach and attention to detail result in whiskies that are rich in flavour and deeply rooted in tradition. One interesting fact about Glenturret distillery is that it holds the distinction of being the spiritual home of the Famous Grouse blended whisky. The distillery has been an integral part of the Famous Grouse brand, contributing its single malt whiskies to the blend. This partnership has helped to shape both the reputation of Glenturret and the renowned blended Scotch whisky.
