The Other Island

We have a new Friend: Willem Dafoe. The occasion called for an unphorgettable cocktail – and that’s where renowned New York mixologist, Meaghan Dorman, came in. Meaghan poured her experience of conjuring up bar-side magic into the creation of a brand new serve: Willem Dafoe’s signature Laphroaig cocktail, The Other Island

'The Taste'

Just like our Islay single malt, Willem leaves a lasting impression that’s always unforgettable. Especially when he’s encountering a dancing Barley Man…  
 

We hope you enjoy the exclusive film we’ve made with Willem, in which he takes on one of his most ambitious artistic challenges yet: putting his finger on exactly what it is that makes Laphroaig taste so, well, Laphroaig. 

A Taste of Islay in London

To celebrate this iconic partnership, historic London pub The Barley Mow was taken over and renamed ‘The Barley Dafoe’ in honour of the man himself. 

The sudden, mysterious transformation in the middle of one of the capital’s most bustling areas was always going to raise a few eyebrows. Londoners were about to be baffled as Willem sipped a glass of our famous single malt, surrounded by friends (and Barley Men, of course).
