'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.
