Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort has to be one of my favorite alcoholic spirit drinks, most notably because of its distinctive flavour combining citrus flavours, peaches and bourbon. Southern Comfort is historically produced in the US (New Orleans) Southern Comfort is can be consumed in a variety of ways, neat is quite strong unless you have it on the rocks, but nevertheless provides distinctive take for a after dinner drink. My preference is to mix Southern Comfort with either lemonade or coca cola which makes it more of a whiskey and coke blend, and is less harsh on the throat. One of my favourite combinations of the drink would be Soco and lime as promoted in ...  Read the complete review

Southern Comfort really is a rather lovely alcoholic beverage - it'll never quite it for me as much as JD does, but I still find it a very lovely tipple on a night out. Few people really know what it's actually termed as, so we tend to call it a Whiskey, but it definitely tastes rather nice, particularly if paired with lemonade. It's fair that a lot of people don't like Southern Comfort neat, and it is a little bit harsh and acerbic for anyone not too trained on Whiskey in general. The lemonade really neutralises the harsh taste and makes it into something that goes down nice and soft, and nice and easy. Although not as enjoyable as the mix of JD and Coke, ...  Read the complete review

Southern Comfort , or SoCo as a lot of people call it nowadays, is a Whiskey based liqueur , where bourbon is blended with fruit juices and spices to give it it's distinctive flavour . Like many spirits, it's available in a variety of bottle sizes, and obviously the larger the bottle, the more you'll end up paying . I usually get the 70cl bottle size, and pay between £11 and £14 . Its certainly not a cheap drink, but then most branded spirits tend to be pricey . Its a golden amber colour, and upon opening the bottle (which is labelled with a nice old fashioned sketch scene, the labels containing all the pertinent information) the first smell to ...  Read the complete review

Now I am not a lover of whisky but I do love Southern Comfort on the odd occasion. What is Southern Comfort Southern Comfort is a blend of whiskey, fruit and spices which gives it its unique sweet flavour which is not too harsh like most whiskies. Southern Comfort has its roots in New Orleans but how did this drink come into being. Well the drink dates back to around the 1870's when and Irish born gentleman called Martin Wilkes Heron who was working in a Saloon (bar to you and me) had to rectify or shall we say make some rough tasting barrel whisky taste better. Heron used a blend of peach, orange, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon to make the cheap ...  Read the complete review

I first tasted Southern Comfort about 10 years ago when I lived in Germany and although it would not be my regular drink, I do like a couple of glasses every now and again after a meal. THE TASTE: Rich and smooth, but very sweet, although this sweetness is offset by the bourbon which provides and interesting and very desirable taste. I prefer to drink my Southern comfort in a tall glass with lemonade and ice. It can also be taken with cola or tonic although for those who don't have a sweet tooth, mixers tend to make this drink much sweeter so it is best just taken with ice. THE PRICE: Southern Comfort varies in price depending on ...  Read the complete review
