Lapis Añejo is a premium aged tequila crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, by a team that emphasizes high-altitude agave cultivation and careful barrel aging. The brand draws on master distiller Enrique Fonseca’s heritage and the challenging growing conditions at around 5,200 feet elevation in the highlands, where agave develops intensified sugars and complexity. The aging is done exclusively in French oak barrels, which lend elegance, richness, and depth to the spirit.

Production Details & Style

• Made from 100% Blue Weber (Agave Tequilana).

• The agave is grown at high elevation in the Los Altos (highlands) region, which encourages slow maturation and flavor concentration.

• Distillation follows a double-distillation process, and the spirit is matured in French oak barrels rather than standard American oak, giving a distinctive oak character.

• Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

• No mention of heavy additives or heavy finishing casks—its style leans toward clean, agave-forward aging.

Character & Serving Suggestions

Lapis Añejo is best appreciated neat or with a splash of water to open up its layers. Its oak-influenced richness stands up well in premium tequila cocktails though it’s most rewarding when sipped slowly.
