Day 2 and 3 in China

Yesterday we had a lot of meetings, for example we met with the Swedish Embassady and after that with Svante at the social network P1. Svante was very kind and also joined us for dinner and later on took us to some of the local pubs and restaurants wich was really good too see because the drinking tradition is very different from the European way. We also managed to take a spontaneous meeting with Wilfred who seems to be a true entrepreneur and also the owner of the whiskybar Glen. So, it was a day full of inspiration, impressions and good contacts.

Today, at wednesday, we had a full schedule where we visited the LAN-club wich is a beutiful and cool nightclub that are holding lots of event, the Swedish chamber of commerce and also we hold the first Mackmyra tasting in China! We were at The single malt club and Maggie and Raymond who are the owners and arranged the tasting gave us a warm welcome. It was around 30 participator who were choosen to be the ones who tried the first Swedish whisky in China. The presentation was interpret by Maggie and it was so cool to hear the presentation in Chinese. The response was fantastic, everyone understood that Mackmyra is something very different from a traditional whisky and many of the tasters had a hugh curiosity and really enjoyed the whisky!
