Sons of don Tomás García Cruz, the brothers Nico, Juan, and Eleazar made this ensamble with nearly equal parts by weight of two unique and micro-endemic magueyes. The large and evergreen Cuixe Verde is one of the most prized cultivars in and around San Luis Amatlán, while the non-agave Cucharillo has been identified as Dasylirion serratifolium, a southern cousin to the Sotol plant of northern Mexico. This plant grows only in particular micro-climates around San Luis Amatlán and prefers a chalky white and limestone terrain. Its leaves have traditionally been used for ornamental weaving, creating decorative pieces and large arches used in weddings, but only in the last decade or so has been used for spirits.
