Once again one of the best expressions of the New World’s oldest spirit, Eléctrico Mezcal Artesanal, will be served and showcased at Brooklyn’s oldest, longest running private social club: The Montauk Club, founded and built in 1889 - 91 (yup — the same time period also known as The Gilded Age). In fact, several scenes from Season Two of HBO’s The Gilded Age show were filmed onsite at The Montauk Club! …
ABOUT ELÉCTRICO
Every drop from Eléctrico’s pure copper alembics is distilled from a single variety of agave (maguey), locally-grown without chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Gently infused with the natural oak smoke of the three-day roast and the mineral-rich water from Eléctrico’s own spring, it is fermented in pine tinas without chemical accelerants or imported yeasts. The twice-distilled results are then matured in glass to allow the flavor to evolve gently. Even the lemongrass in its ‘distilled with’ range, is home-grown on Eléctrico’s smallholdings and further expressions with locally roasted coffee and mandarin are currently maturing. The result is a range of mezcal expressions, each one a pure distillation of the Oaxacan highlands, clean, clear and complex.
NEWSFLASH: This privately-owned, artisanal mezcal distillery hidden in the mountains of southern Mexico has swept up four medals at the prestigious Los Angeles Spirits Tasting Awards. In rigorous blind tasting sessions, the Awards organization’s team of expert judges gave high medals to all four expressions submitted from Eléctrico Mezcal’s range of certified ‘Artesanal’ mezcals, including a coveted Platinum Medal for its 3-year matured Tobalá and a Gold Medal for its flagship 5-times distilled Jabalí PLUS Silver Medals for both its Espadín Joven and its Espadín Distilled with Lemongrass….
Four expressions of Eléctrico were entered into the recent 2025 L.A. Spirits Awards and ALL FOUR WON highest levels: PLATINUM ! GOLD! and TWO Silvers!….
ABOUT THE MONTAUK CLUB
Originally a traditional men’s only club, The Montauk Club became the most prominent social club in Brooklyn of it’s time. And of all the hundreds of clubs throughout Brooklyn in that era, it’s the only one still in existence — that today serves a vibrant and growing member base of all genders, who are as diverse as the borough of Brooklyn itself. Cheers to that! 🥂✨
