El Solitario Outlaw Whisky Collection
In the common law of England, a “Writ of Outlawry” made the pronouncement Caput lupinum – “Let his be a wolf’s head” – with respect to its subject, equating that person with a wolf in the eyes of the law. The Outlaw was deprived of all legal rights, allowing others to kill him on sight, as if he was such a wild creature.
EL SOLITARIO OUTLAW WHISKY COLLECTION will bottle Whiskies that for any given practicalities or obscure reason, never saw the light. Although reveal an exceptional taste and ¨garra¨. We seek for those attributes that make a Whisky stand out, and have the power to immerse connoisseurs in an introspective voyage into long forgotten memories.
Never forget that EL SOLITARIO is a brand that celebrates outlaw culture and its disruptive ethos. So expect something unconventional to say the least. Following the same protocols we use to execute our motorized creations and paraphernalia, we focus on craftsmanship and authenticity, with severe respect for raw materials and traditional techniques, but always blending with a radical innovative perspective. This shall result in a unique approach to the world of luxury Whisky in todays ubiquitous spectrum.
Appearance: Very light pale straw color, nice edge line on the glass when you swirl it, smooth layer of whisky on swirling with long legs and some droplets.
First Impression: Light-to-medium peat smoke, honey, leather, sherry malt/toffee, pepper, and oak.
Taste: Nice oily feel to the malt. Mellow-weight mouth feel and very easy to drink. Nice layers of Madeira and bourbon influence- a touch of sweetness, then malt, leather and fruit. Nice malty body. Finish is buttery nuts, oak, fruits,vanilla, spice, a little pepper.
Drinks: Personally, we like it straight or with a little water to open it up. Use a decent spirits glass to fully appreciate it but you won´t regret a taste from the bottle when on the run. Please only use in a cocktail that is subtle, and well proportioned! You wouldn't want to lose the layers of taste this whisky has.
Cigars: Yes, but something light. All other substances are up to you.
