About The Glenturret
It is thought illicit distilling took place at the site as early as 1717. In 1814, the Murray family sold Thurot Distillery – the earliest known name for Glenturret – to Thomas MacInnes who renamed it The Hosh Distillery. It started operating as a licenced distillery around this time and retained this name until 1873 when it became The Glenturret.
