From their base at the heart of the Crieff community, they have a genuine reverence for tradition. Although the rest of the whisky world has moved away from the traditional mashing by hand and cutting by eye as vital components of the whisky-making process, they maintain and continue with both these traditions. At Glenturret, their idea of progress is to stick to what they, Scotland’s oldest working distillery, have always done best, making scotch malt whisky the traditional way.
