Glenturret Distillery

The Murrays of Ochtertyre were the owners of the land and the property of the distillery and it was known as Thurot distillery.

Thomas MacInnes bought the distillery and changed its name to the Hosh distillery. This name stayed until 1873 when a new change in the name led to The Glenturret. In 1825 the distillery was granted permission to use the water from Loch Turret and peat from the riverbanks as well.

Whisky merchants and brothers, David and William Mitchell became the new owners of Glenturret distillery in 1890. Their sons succeeded them and in 1923 the distillery was mothballed due to the decrease in demand for Scotch Whisky.

To make things worse, the distillery was dismantled five years later, in 1928. Almost 30 years later, it was James Fairlie who decided to bring the old distillery building back to life and after bringing the essential equipment, the distillery resumed production in 1957.

A series of changes in ownership status took place over the next few years. Remy Cointreau, Highland Distillers, and Edrington until the current owners, The Lalique Group, bought the distillery in 2019.
