Platinum · Best Mezcal, Best Agave Spirit
Tobalá Joven Mezcal
Our History
A song, a road to Oaxaca, and a mezcal that became a world.
Eléctrico Mezcal is a story of convergence: Kathleen Blackwell, Diego López, Ronan Chris Murphy, and Maestro Cirino, brought together through music, film, and San Baltazar Guelavila.
Origin
La Cantante y el Mezcalero
At its heart, the brand is a meeting between Kathleen Blackwell and Maestro Cirino, with Diego López as the essential bridge — not only a production story, but a relationship rooted in timing, place, and trust.
Place
San Baltazar Guelavila
The home of the spirit is San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca — anchored in Zapotec tradition, altitude, aquifer water, and a palenque shaped by artesanal methods rather than industrial shortcuts.
Timeline
How the brand came together.
2014
Eléctrico begins as a song.
Kathleen Blackwell performs “Eléctrico,” launching a creative path that becomes Project Eléctrico and eventually opens the door to Oaxaca.
2015
The bridge to Oaxaca appears.
Through Ronan Chris Murphy and Diego López, the circle widens toward Maestro Cirino and San Baltazar Guelavila — the turning point in the story.
2018
The story becomes film.
The world around Eléctrico expands into documentary and visual storytelling, shaping the brand into something richer than a traditional spirits label.
2019
Diego López is lost.
His role as co-founder and connective force remains central to the brand’s identity — he is the reason Eléctrico exists in San Baltazar specifically.
Now
A living brand across spirits, film, and music.
The current story is not only about mezcal production, but about memory, craft, people, and the visual world that continues to grow around the bottles.

Tres Familias en Una
Three families, one spirit.
Eléctrico brings together more than a founders’ story. It is the family of the palenque, the family of the music-and-film world, and the larger community around the brand.
