According to the distiller, the visitor’s centre was “broken into at approximately 2.45” and “the thieves clearly knew what they wanted as they smashed the cabinets and cleared out all of the oldest and most valuable family casks and a bottle of 60 Year Old, leaving destruction behind”.

The company revealed that “the total value of whisky stolen is over £100,000”.
