Southern Comfort is one of my most favourite Spirits. Unfortunately when I buy a bottle, I tend to make it my mission to finish it as quick as possible. Since I do this, I totally sicken myself on it, and can't face to drink it again for a while. I'm no skinflint, but this is quite pricey compared to other drinks I drink, so I tend to only treat myself to this now and again, and although I swear I won't gulp it down again, I always do!

Southern Comfort has been marketed as an American Whisky, but I hate Whisky, and can't taste the resemblance in any way.

You can buy this is a few different sized. The 35cl bottles cost roughly £9, the 70cl bottles are around £16, and the 1 litre bottles are around £21. I don't think i've ever seen this on a good offer, just the 1 litre bottle perhaps having a couple of pounds knocked off it.

The bottle design isn't that exciting. It is a clear glass, which is slightly ridged along the glass. You can see the dark orange-y colour liquid though the bottle. There is a simple label on the front saying the product name, and the label on the back tells a bit about the history of the drink, how it's been produced for hundreds of years, and tells that 1 shot, which is 25ml has 70 calories in it.

As far as I know the drink originated in Tennessee, and Asda have brought out their version of the drink called deep South. It is quite similar, a good but cheaper, but not quite the original and best.

I normally drink mine with lemonade, but occassionally I have it with Coke. I think Lemonade is just right with it, since it is a dark, heavy liquid, and the lightness and sweetness of the Lemons work well with it.

Unfortunately when I neck this, I tend to make it stronger and stronger as my toungue gets accustomed to the strong taste, and I have woke up a few times the next morning knowing I hadn't been drunk the night before, but having a slight sore head. I've heard that darker coloured spirits are more likely to give you a sore head compared to lighter ones, but am not sure how true that is.

A great tangy alcoholic drink, just wished it was a little cheaper!
