MIZUNARUM Crystal First Signal 2026 Wakatsuru 700ml 40% Rum

Mizunara, the rare Japanese oak that gives this rum its name, points to the character behind its crystal-clear finish. The 2026 "First Signal" expression comes in a 700ml bottle at 40% ABV, a brand-new release from Wakatsuru Shuzo.

Wakatsuru Shuzo, a historic producer based in Toyama Prefecture, is known for giving its spirits a distinct regional character. A forward-dated vintage like this makes for a striking find, bottled now but marked for a year still to come.
