Solomillo al whisky is the Sevillian taberna tapa of pork tenderloin medallions flash-seared with garlic, whisky and lemon, finished with a sauce of the pan drippings, sliced thin over toasted bread.

Solomillo al whisky emerged in Sevillian tabernas in the 1950s and 1960s, a working-day tapa that uses humble pork tenderloin and the bar's whisky bottle to make a quick sauce. Bar Alfalfa, Taberna Coloniales and Bodega Santa Cruz all serve the canonical version. The dish is a quintessential Sevillian small plate, present on most tapas menus across centro and Santa Cruz. Whisky is the original spirit but some kitchens substitute brandy de Jerez.
