Continuing its long-standing celebration of people who think a little differently, Laphroaig is inviting fans to interpret the whisky in whatever creative form feels right. Perhaps a confusing Avant-garde dance. Who's to say you haven't nailed it when they can barely understand it themselves?

Think outside the box. A mad little sketch. A short film like that Mr Plow advert Homer Simpson accidentally makes. An unhinged voice note recorded after two drams and a crisis. Whatever works.

The most original and bold submission will earn the chance to star alongside Willem Dafoe in the next Laphroaig short film, set to be shot later this year. He's even going to select the winner. How cool is that? Certainly a better pub story than “I once won a branded Glencairn”.

Dafoe says: “It was a pleasure learning about each of the whiskies shortlisted to be ‘the one’. I made my final choice based on the whisky that evoked the most curiosity about its taste – something I still can’t put my finger on, but that's half the fun. For me, when I sip ‘Willem by Willem’ I experience...you tell me. For all who drink it, I hope the whisky will inspire discussion.”

Taste away, then send your entry to NoNotes@laphroaig.com or or tag @Laphroaig on Instagram. Submissions close on 2 August 2026.
