Voodoo Tiki is a brand of tequila, produced by Voodoo Tiki Tequila Corporation, made of 100% blue agave, and available in 22 US states, including Ohio, Georgia and 4 other countries including,Canada, Cayman Islands, India and the The Carribean

Production

Voodoo Tiki Tequila is 100% Weber blue agave tequila distilled in the small Mexican town of Capilla de Guadalupe in the Corazón de Los Altos (highlands) region of Jalisco, Mexico.

While all tequilas are derived from the agave plant, Corazón de Los Altos is known for producing top-quality agave which is allowed to grow for 10–12 years. Once harvested the pinas (the large "heart" of the plant) are steamed slowly in hornos (traditional ovens) for 50–72 hours, until the desired sweet agave flavor is reached. The baked agave is pressed to release its juices, which are then fermented, distilled twice and barreled as tequila. Voodoo Tiki's production is based on the model used by boutique wineries, focusing on smaller quantities of handmade product that are made using high quality ingredients and marketed to connoisseurs.

Voodoo Tiki produces three main types of tequila: Platinum Silver (blanco), Reposado and Añejo.

Añejo (Aged) - this tequila is aged for a minimum of one year in white oak casks. The tequila takes on the properties of the oak casks, lending it a unique flavor.

Reposado (Rested) - A silver (blanco) tequila that has been kept in white oak casks for a minimum of two months, and a maximum of one year.

Silver (Blanco) This is clear, transparent tequila that has been bottled immediately after distillation. It remains true to the flavor of blue agave, is strong and traditionally drunk in a caballito - a small, narrow shotglass.

Voodoo Tiki also produces an Añejo Three Years, a tequila that has been aged for at least three years and which is available in limited quantities (only 1,000 cases a year are produced). Extra-añejo tequilas (aged three years or more) are a new type of tequila allowed by the CRT: the Mexican Tequila Regulatory Council, since 2006.

There is also a series of flavor infused tequilas, including Blue Dragon (kiwi-infused), Green Dragon (lime-infused) and Desert Rose (prickly pear-infused). Flavored, or infused, tequilas have been allowed by the CRT: the Mexican Tequila Regulatory Council, since 2006.

Voodoo Tiki is sold in colorful glass bottles which are handmade by Mexican glass artist Alejandro Nuramo. Each bottle contains a glass Tiki; is signed and numbered for authenticity; and is labeled with 1 of 100 possible “magic words”; all of which have attracted collectors.

Management and distribution

The product line was developed in 2001 by writer-director John Taddeo. The company's President is Donna DeCunzo-Taddeo, former dietitian.^[1].

The Voodoo Tiki corporate headquarters are located in Boca Raton, Florida; and it is distributed in the United States through Admiral Distribution, based in New Jersey.

In April, 2008, a group of about 25 on the Blue Agave Forum tour visited the distillery during their week-long exploration of the tequila industry.
