William Lawson’s Scotch Whisky is presented as the drink of men who play with high stakes in “Cannonball”, a spectacular visual-effects advertisement from Belgium. Think of petanque and what do you see? South of France, old men with berets and a yellowish drink with too much water? Think again. Close the shutters of your windows, grab a tough helmet and watch the Scottish style petanque created for William Lawson’s. It’s a new episode in the series with the Highlander (see the Haka) that originated in another time and space.
On a Scottish castle in the middle of a highland loch, a group of bare-chested kilted men wrestle with a cannon to send a cannonball slicing through the Scottish highlands. William Lawson’s. No Rules. Great Scotch.
