According to a witness appeal statement posted by Police Scotland Tayside on social media, several “high value” bottles were stolen during a break in at the distillery in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The stolen Glenturret whisky bottles have a “distinctive” design and were manufactured in partnership with French luxury glassmaker Lalique.
Police Scotland Tayside has urged anyone with information with regards to the incident on 12 April to get in contact.
“At approximately 0445 hours on Saturday 12th April, The Glenturret Distillery was the target of a high value robbery,” the whisky maker said in a statement.
“The Glenturret remained closed to public on Saturday 12th April, re-opening on Sunday 13th April 2025.
“Onsite security alerted our team, and local police officers were immediately notified and responded swiftly to the scene. No injuries were reported, and the safety of our employees and customers remains our highest priority.
“At this time, we are unable to comment further due to the ongoing investigation. We ask for the community’s understanding and patience as we work closely with the authorities.”
The statement concluded by urging anyone that has information about the break in to contact the police.
The Glenturret Distillery is based in Hosh, just outside the town of Crieff in Scotland. Located to the north of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the distillery is said to be one of the oldest in the country and covers three acres of ground.
The manufacturer produces a range of whiskies and also offers tours of the distillery to members of the public.
