A field blend of Agave de Lumbre and Espadin distilled by Cirilo Hernandez in San Baltazar Geulavia (southeast of Santiago Matatlan). Agave de Lumbre is a rare wild variety endemic to Guelavia. Although it is often considered part of the Karwinskii family, due to its trunk-like shape, the majority of the mezcal community claims this as a unique species. The agave are harvested from hilly, rocky white soils 1600 m in elevation.
