A window into what we mean at Avolta when we talk about sense of place and experience! ?? ?? In partnership with Kyr? Distillery Company known for its award-winning products, for the first time in Finland travelers passing though Helsinki Duty Free can discover Kyr? whiskey in a sensory experience, smelling the distillates in the form of a mist. Mikko Laakkonen, an internationally celebrated designer, was involved in the design of Kyr? Distillery's whiskey space: "The story of Kyr? started from the sauna, and in this space we have been able to bring elements that are natural to the brand - hot and cold - so that they are integrated into the product experience." “We want to offer all airport customers something new and different…The technology is an ultrasonic vaporizer, which turns the liquid into a cool cloud. The spirit and essence of our rye whiskeys can be experienced in the aromatic scents…Whiskeys are valuable purchases and this removes uncertainty from the purchase decision, especially for foreign tourists that may not be familiar with the brand." says Mikko Koskinen, Marketing Director of Kyr? Distillery Company. The space also showcases a limited release of Kyr? Sauna Stories whiskey - the world's first whisky finished in a sauna. Margareta Le Calvé Heidi Schütt Madeline Duncan
