At the end of the 19th century, Don Jesús Vadillo manufactured and marketed tuxca to support his son Basilio Vadillo in the Colima Seminary, and thus the family found itself immersed in this world as part of its history. The tradition was maintained for four generations, and in 2013 the descendants of Don Jesús, together with the Nava family, undertook the Insecto project and made the drink known beyond the borders of Colima and Jalisco.

History
As the 19th century drew to a close, Don Jesús Vadillo commenced the production and commerce of Tuxca, with the intent to financially support his son, Basilio Vadillo, during his tenure at the Colima Seminary. This industry became interwoven with the family's legacy. Subsequently, the practice was upheld across four subsequent generations.
In the year 2013, the progeny of Don Jesús, in collaboration with the Nava family, launched the Insecto initiative, successfully elevating the reputation of the spirit, and expanding its renown beyond the confines of Colima and Jalisco.
At Destilados Vadillo-Nava, we acknowledge the paramount significance of revitalizing the heritage agave distillate indigenous to South Jalisco, cognizant of the exceptional caliber of the beverage. In deference to the time-honored methodologies of production, we craft Insecto in collaboration with Master Tabernero Pedro Ruiz Contreras and his family—his spouse and their daughters— who are well-versed in these artisanal procedures and are fervent advocates for the exemplary production of Tuxca.
