Glenturret Whisky

Glenturret claims to be the oldest working distillery in Scotland, but the misleading history of the name means their claim is often disputed. The site of the distillery certainly seems to have been used for distilling as early as 1775 when the Hosh distillery was registered at the same location, and some accounts even suggest there was illegal distillation happening there as early as 1717. In 1875 the Hosh distillery purchased rights to use the Glenturret name from another local distillery.
