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.
Selected by Willem
This isn’t a collaboration in name only.
Willem Dafoe helped shape the final spirit with Laphroaig selecting from multiple expressions without tasting notes, guidance, or expectation.
Because sometimes, the right choice isn’t explained: It’s recognised.

Willem. By Willem.
We don’t want to over-describe it.
Still, if you need somewhere to begin:
- Smoke: Deep, unmistakable peat
- Palate: Sea salt, spice, and soft sweetness
- Character: Layered, evolving, hard to define
- Finish: Long, smoky, and mouthwatering
Or…
A place.
A memory.
Something just out of reach.
Because with this whisky, your notes are the only ones that matter.
