Swedish Whisky in New York, Tasting at the Roger Smith
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by AdamWallace in Events, Hotel, 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
