Laphroaig Willem Dafoe 700ml

This limited edition Laphroaig 14 Year Old Islay Single Malt was personally selected by Willem Dafoe alongside Laphroaig Senior Whisky Blender Sarah Dowling. Finished in Oloroso sherry casks, it brings together Laphroaig’s unmistakable peat smoke with added depth, spice and soft sherried sweetness.

The whisky was chosen without tasting notes, guidance or expectation, reflecting the idea of “no notes”, a phrase used in film for a performance so complete it needs no direction. Willem Dafoe selected from multiple Laphroaig expressions by instinct, making this more than a simple name-led collaboration.

Deep peat smoke sits at the centre, joined by sea salt, spice and a gentle sweetness from the Oloroso sherry cask finish. The character is layered and difficult to pin down, with a long, smoky and mouthwatering finish that leaves plenty open to interpretation.
