The Voodoo Tiki Coleccion Privada de la Familia started out as a few bottles for friends and family, but has turned into a phenomenal tequila and a collector phenomenon. Check out the complete history of the Coleccion Privada de la Familia below. If you need help locating a specific vintage year email press@VoodooTiki.com. We know of at least one retailer with a complete collection!
2007 – Coleccion Privada de la Familia – Vanguard Edition
The rarest of all Voodoo Tiki Coleccion Privada de la Familia offerings, this 750ml bottle is only differentiated from it’s anejo cousin by a color change – the sealing wax and glass Voodoo Tiki inside are rich purple. Only 500 bottles were produced. Few were brought to the United States. It is estimated less than 25 still exist, bringing collector prices on this edition to the moon. An interesting, yet unverified rumor is that a few of these 750ml bottles were mistakenly packaged in cases of Voodoo Tiki Anejo – so if you ever happen to see purple wax and a purple Voodoo Tiki on a shelf (with some dust) next to the recognizable Voodoo Tiki Anejo, grab it! You’re looking at an amazing and rare find!
Note: The Voodoo Tiki glassware, and box in the photo was not offered packaged with the Extra Anejo Tequila in 2007, however it was a look of what the future would bring.
Estimated Value – $3,600.
2008 – Coleccion Privada de la Familia – Honeywood Matte Edition
2008 introduced the first one liter offering from Voodoo Tiki Tequila. Shipping in a hand carved Voodoo Tiki idol standing over 2 feet tall, the Voodoo Tiki Tequila Coleccion Privada de la Familia Extra Anejo was packaged in an authentic, real wood, hand carved Voodoo Tiki. Limited to 1,000 signed collections, the packaging also featured the Voodoo Tiki Tequila logo carved into the Voodoo Tiki Idol top. The limited quantity of 1,000 units, and the Carved Voodoo Tiki packaging and dimensions would continue from this offering forward.
Inside tequila aficionados were treated to one liter of small batch, craft, single barrel Voodoo Tiki Extra Anejo Tequila (Voodoo Tiki Tequila’s largest bottle to date). Voodoo Tiki aged Tequila is aged to taste, never color or time and features notes of sweet agave, vanilla, caramel, 
butterscotch, dark chocolate, and brandy, without the heat, burn or rough finish which is synonymous with other tequilas. The bottles were handmade Mexican bubble glass and featured deep etched glass on the front, and an official Voodoo Tiki “Magic Word” on the back. Each bottle is also is crafted to feature a solid glass Voodoo Tiki Idol inside. Completing the package, each bottle is hand painted with 24 karat gold lettering.
2008 also marked the first year that lighting was incorporated into the package. The Tiki, when opened would rear illuminate the precious cargo, a technique that would continue until 2012 when the lights would be removed in a nod to “Doomsday Darkness.”
