Situated outside the small market town of Crieff , in beautiful rural Perthshire, the Glenturret Distillery is a fantastic hidden gem. Nestled in amongst the trees , with the Turret river running alongside it, you get a sense of what it may have been like for illicit distillers making whisky out of sight from the excise man in years gone by.  And this is not the only thing about Glenturret that gives you an insight into whisky making history! Whisky production has been taking place on the banks of the Turret since at least 1775, making it the oldest workign distillery in Scotland. This heritage shines from every aspect of the distiller walls, and if you join one of the many options of tours , you’ll see this in the methods we use, from the last remaining hand mash tun is Scotland , to cutting our spirit by hand and by eye.
