Herradura Directo de Alambique Blanco 2027: Price & Details
The Herradura Directo de Alambique Blanco 2027 Limited Edition takes the opposite approach of most premium tequila: no barrels, no resting, no dilution to standard strength. This estate-bottled blanco comes off the still at Casa Herradura and into the bottle at 110 proof (55% ABV), unaged, to show what 100% Blue Weber agave tastes like before oak touches it.
It's a limited Summer 2027 release, currently available at Main Street Liquor for $79.99 (regularly $99.99). Below: the confirmed specs, the official tasting notes, and how to drink something bottled at still strength.

What "Directo de Alambique" Means
The name translates to "direct from the still," and that's the entire idea. Where most blancos are proofed down with water before bottling, this release keeps the spirit at the concentration it left the alembic, preserving the agave's character at full intensity. Casa Herradura ferments naturally in open air — a house practice that lets ambient yeasts shape the profile — then bottles this expression without any barrel time.
For agave drinkers, that makes it less a casual pour and more a reference point: cooked agave, fermentation character, and still-strength texture with nothing in between. Learn more about the estate and its production methods on the official Herradura website.
Official Tasting Notes
According to the brand, the aroma leads with bright cooked agave, herbal spice, green pepper, and citrus zest. The palate is full and expressive — dominant sweet agave joined by green apple, green pear, and dried fruit — before a long, warming, lightly spicy finish with lingering vegetal and pepper notes.
How to Drink a 110-Proof Blanco
Neat in a tequila glass is the intended experience; the producer suggests letting it rest briefly after pouring, then adding a few drops of water to soften the proof and open up the fruit and herbal side. In cocktails, the elevated strength is an asset rather than an obstacle — a Tommy's Margarita, Ranch Water, Paloma, or Tequila Old Fashioned built on this keeps the agave forward instead of disappearing behind citrus and sweetener.
