Straight From the Still
"Directo de alambique" means exactly what it says: no barrel, no dilution, no compromise — the spirit exactly as it left Casa Herradura's stills, at 55% ABV. The 2012 original became a cult bottle among agave purists; the 2026 return opens the Colección de la Casa series, Herradura's new annual still-strength tradition.

Tasting Notes
Concentrated cooked agave — roasted, sweet, almost syrupy — with white pepper, citrus oil, and a mineral snap at full strength; the finish is long, warm, and intensely agave. Add a few drops of water to open vanilla and floral notes.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat in small pours, or add water to taste; a powerhouse base for a ranch water or a still-strength margarita for the brave.
