Where Distillery Reserve shouts tropical fruit, Podium whispers orchard.

Distillery & Heritage

Bottled at 46% from refill American oak casks, Podium was created to showcase Kavalan's distillate character with less cask domination.

The nose is fresh and elegant: pear, green apple, beeswax and a touch of vanilla pod with floral lift. The palate brings crisp orchard fruit, malted barley sweetness, light honey and a flick of white pepper.

Verdict

A more contemplative Kavalan.
