But on the wooded bluff overlooking the River Spey where Macallan has been made since 1824, stills disused since the 1980s have been brought back into use and two vast warehouses have sprouted.

It was shaded by tall coconut palms that were bent by the trade wind and on the ocean side you could walk out of the door and down the bluff across the white sand and into the Gulf Stream.

I'm afraid you can't bluff the police into believing that you were not at the scene of the crime.
