PUTTABONG 1st FLUSH

The twisty layers of silver leaves brews a luminous liquor with a zesty sweetness of orange blossoms and deeply set herb notes of fennel echoing on the edges with a floral redolence that fills in entirety leaving meandering trails of brisk freshness all around the taste buds.

Dry Leaf

Long and luscious leaves that are intricately twisted into layers of silver, olive, and chive issuing a refreshing fresh woody sweetness of patchouli.

Infusion

Pistachio coloured whole leaves reveal tender buds accompanied by wafts of fresh hay and sweet orange blossoms.

Liquor

A luminous straw gold liquor with a tender fresh fragrance of spring flowers and a fantastically brisk body that is sweet and grassy with elevated citrusy flora. Herby astringent notes of fennel energise the edges to recall a tantalizing mandarin freshness.
