It also has to be remembered that the Whalers are ASSASSINS FOR HIRE.

Is it implausible to consider for a moment that the Whalers were HIRED to eliminate the scout? Perhaps by Granny herself.

With regards to why Granny would want a Distillery... um, she IS rather insane. So who knows? She wasn't enamored with the Bottle Street Gang and planned on eliminating them anyway. Destroying the Distillery was a means to that end.

Finally, with regards to the Whalers/Assassins lying in ambush during the House of Pleasure mission. Griff knew Corvo's identity. The Heart tells you as much. It's also pretty obvious that Daud either knew the identity of the 'Masked individual' or strongly suspected it.

Where the Assassins appear during House of Pleasure are mostly along Bloodox Way where Griff has his shop. Notably Griff, who had dealings with the Masked Man (and knew his identity), is conveniently hiding away safely while the Assassins are waiting in ambush. Suspicious much?

It seems, to me at least, that the Whalers were either interested in this Masked Individual, or Griff somehow mighta said something that leaked back to the Whalers. Thus they planted the three Assassins there (with one along Endoria Way for back-up).

That theory sounds much more plausible than anything else.
