The nose:
The aromas of pear, raspberry and plum blend with the notes of rose and jasmine. Such a complexity is heightened by the spicy freshness of pine and geranium.
The palate:
The contrast between palate and nose is engaging. There is a palpable duality of the pure well rounded fruity/floral aromatics and the archaic tactile presence of a gentle astringency. The silky and warm opening dissolves into a dry minerality and lingers with a vibrant touch of citron, white pepper and licorice.
5 is the universal number of
balance and harmony,
a symbol of union and quintessence.
For IWA, the number 5 represents Assemblage. The controlled play of the many Sake elements to define a world of possibilities. From there, we select the few worth pursuing and refining into euphony. It’s all there. In its right place. At the right moment. Then, the whole has only to be fully revealed through the slow process of bottle maturation.
The interplay of warmth, gravitas and tonicity expressed in Assemblage 5 is IWA’s unprecedented – somewhat avant-garde – proposition. The contrast between palate and nose is engaging: a palpable duality of pure, well-rounded floral/fruity aromatics and the archaic tactile presence of gentle astringency.
