When Tequila is made it is 100% blue agave Silver, Platinum or Blanco. All three generally mean the same thing with Platinum often used to designate when the ingredients and methods produce a product superior to the competition – such as Voodoo Tiki Platinum Tequila. In would be unfair to call Voodoo Tiki “Silver” when what we put in the bottle costs 5-7 times what many “Sacred Cows” put in the bottle – Quick Think of a SILVER Tequila! – yep, that’s the one. What we put in the bottle costs 5-7 times what they put in. We apologize to the competition, but “Some things are not debatable.”
So while we’re already sparing no expense, let’s talk about how you make it more expensive.
Voodoo Tiki Tequila 100% Blue Agave Reposado TequilaIf you take 100% Blue Agave Voodoo Tiki Platinum Tequila, barrel it and age it for up to 9 months it becomes a Reposado, which means “Rested.” During the barreling process the tequila will absorb some of the color and flavor from the wood. Tequila is often aged in brandy barrels so it will likely pick up some of the brandy flavors. Voodoo Tiki ages to taste – not color and we age in white French oak brandy barrels, so our Reposado is light in color. This is not a product flaw, it is a benefit to our sweet flavor profile. Voodoo Tiki Tequila Reposado has a very sweet vanilla like flavor.
TIP: Most Reposado tequilas are not very dark, but to fool the tequila buying public some companies tint their bottle glass brown. Voodoo Tiki ships in clear Mexican bubble-glass.
Aged Tequilas
Voodoo Tiki Tequila 100% Blue Agave Anejo TequilaIf you continue the aging process for over a year you will have an Anejo, which means “Aged.” This will have taken out more of the qualities of the barreling process. It will further mellow out a “Bite” if any exists, as well as have more brandy flavor in the finish. Voodoo Tiki Anejo has a caramel like sweetness, with very cognac / brandy like finish.
If you continue the aging process for three years you will have an “Extra Anejo” or as many people refer to it, “Three Year Anejo.” In the last few years the term “Three Year Anejo” is being phased out as some tequilas are being aged as much as six years. There is really no reason to age a tequila beyond three years. Three years is the true sweet spot on aging, and often the more aged tequilas are not considered high quality. The aging above three years seems to be a marketing gimmick to get people to believe that longer aging is better. Like many wines, with tequila this is simply not true.
Voodoo Tiki Tequila 100% Blue Agave Extra Anejo Tequila Coleccion Privada de la FamiliaVoodoo Tiki Tequila’s Coleccion Privada de la Familia is limited to 1,000 single liter bottles and comes shipped in a hand craved Voodoo Tiki wooden case – Over 2 Feet Tall! It contains 1,00% Los Altos Blue Agave Extra Anejo, aged three years. This product represents one of, if not the best tequila ever exported from Mexico since tequila production began in Mexico in the 16th century – of course we believe that tequila was first made hundreds of years earlier in Africa, the birthplace of Voodoo.
TIP: Voodoo Tiki Tequila is surrounded by myth and legend. If you haven’t watched and read the full story, do so right away!
