Glenturret Distillery History
1660 - Excise duty was introduced so anyone
producing alcohol would have to pay Taxes.
1717 - an unregistered Distillery was
operating in this area so as not to pay
taxes.
1818 - the Glenturret Distillery was opened
under the name Hosh, with the owner being John
Drummond. This has been claimed to be the
Oldest Distillery in Scotland, although a few
other Distillers have disputed this.
