Glenturret is a Scottish distillery located in the Highlands that dates back to 1775 when the site was home to an illegal whiskey production known as The Hosh. However, the distillery was not officially licensed until 1818, when John Drummond began legal whiskey production.

The distillery survived many challenges, including being dismantled during the 1920s when it faced difficult economic conditions. However, it was revived in 1960 by James Fairlie, who bought the equipment from Tullibardine and re-established the distillery. At the same time, the company focused on tourism and became one of the first distilleries in Scotland to open a visitor centre. In 2002, the visitor center was converted into The Famous Grouse Experience, making the distillery the center for the promotion of this blended whiskey until 2018 when it was sold to Glenturret Holding.

Bottles of Glenturret single malt whiskey were rare, although in 2015, three different versions were attempted. In 2020, under the leadership of former colleagues from the Macallan distillery - Bob Dalgarn (master blender) and Ken Grier (strategic consultant), a rebranding took place and new official bottlings are appearing on the market.
