Glenturret - 80th Anniversary of 617 Squadron
Lot ID:300527
Bottle Description
2023 marks the 80th Anniversary of 617 Squadron, known as 'The Dambusters' and this distinguished squadron has played an important role in the Royal Air Force's history, from the famous bombing raid in the Ruhr Valley in 1943, to its current mission as the RAF's first front line squadron.
This Glenturret single malt is one of only 617 bottles released.
Distillery Information
Glenturret distillery is located two miles northwest of Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland on the banks of the Turret River.
The distillery was officially established in 1763, but had previously been under the control of illicit distillers, who sought to avoid paying taxes, since 1717.
This early history has led to claims that Glenturret is the oldest distillery in Scotland, a title contested by other establishments such as Littlemill or Strathisla.
