Willem. By Willem.

A limited-edition Islay single malt selected by Willem Dafoe.

 

Finished in Oloroso sherry casks, this 14 Year Old Single Malt is chosen without tasting notes, this release captures Laphroaig’s unmistakable character — bold, complex, and entirely open to interpretation.

Selected without Notes

In film, “no notes” means a performance so complete it needs no direction. That same idea defines this whisky personally selected by Willem Dafoe alongside Laphroaig’s Senior Whisky Blender, Sarah Dowling without explanation, just instinct.

 

Willem became a Friend of Laphroaig last September. This bottle is the result.

Explore exclusive stories to learn about whisky, events and the rich heritage of Laphroaig

Born on Islay’s south coast, Laphroaig draws its character from the island itself, sea-spray on stone walls, peat bogs rich in maritime flora, heather and seaweed, and the soft island water that feeds our malt and kiln. 



 

From these elements come the iodine-tinged smoke and gentle l sweetness that define our whisky, shaped by Atlantic weather and patience.

If you’d like to experience that sense of place first-hand, come and see us—book a distillery tour and walk the shoreline that shapes every drop. 

Or begin your journey by exploring Islay: its land, its weather, and the traditions that make our smoke what it is. Either way, the island’s character is never far from the glass.
