Swedish Whisky in New York, Tasting at the Roger Smith
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by AdamWallace in Lily's Restaurant
At the 23 of September we will host an evening of Swedish Whisky at The Roger Smith Hotel (501 Lexington Ave). We are happy to invite you to sample and discuss the presence of Mackmyra Swedish Whisky in New York. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to mail or call.
Small casks, Swedish oak and storage in Bodås mine
Much of the whisky has been stored in 100-litre casks, which produces an exciting, powerful ageing process. We have also used newly manufactured Swedish oak casks, made using oak that was planted on the island of Visingsö 160 years ago and intended for use in building warships for the Swedish navy. The base is our Elegant recipe, stored in bourbon casks of first fill quality. All stored in the Bodås mine, 50 metres down inside the primary rock.
Welcome!
Med vänliga hälsningar/Kind regards

Dinner
4.28.09
A live cooking show on the corner of 47th and Lexington. Come check out Lily’s and the Roger Smith Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
Passersby will be able to watch Chef Daniel Mowles as he creates sensational meals for his invited guests. The recipes he prepares will be featured as specials on the Lilys menu the next day, which is known for its Scandinavian-influenced American cuisine. The live food show will feature a number of his newest spring dishes.
Daniel is one of the most creative young chefs out there. We think of his dishes as art, so when the Lab Gallery approached us with the idea of his performing live, we immediately agreed, said Ulrika Bengtsson, Restaurant Director of Lilys.
