Highland Park 18 Year Old 2005 Macbeth Act Two The Thanes is a remarkable release from the prestigious Macbeth series by Livingstone Rare and Elixir Distillers. This 18-year-old masterpiece from 2005 presents a crystal-clean expression of Highland Park spirit without the typical sherry influence that characterizes this distillery.

This Orkney single malt has been bottled at 50.8% ABV from refill hogsheads in a limited edition of 650 bottles. The absence of sherry-cask influence makes this a unique interpretation of Highland Park, where the pure characteristics of the distillate take centre stage.

The nose reveals candy-like elements with crisp citrus, honey, and subtle smoke. On the palate, citrus and pepper combine with fatty sweetness, herbs, and mint—a refined blend of lanolin, honey, and coastal salinity. The finish is long and peppery with citrus and aniseed. This is an intensely fresh Highland Park that perfectly balances sweet fruitiness with fresh herbal notes.

This release particularly appeals to whisky enthusiasts who appreciate pure distillate character over sherry-cask influence. An exceptional addition to the Macbeth collection.
