    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Southern Comfort is an American whiskey liqueur blending whiskey with natural fruit and spice flavours, bottled at 35% ABV.

    The liqueur was created in 1874 by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron at McCauley's Tavern in New Orleans, Louisiana, originally under the name "Cuffs and Buttons". Southern Comfort is today owned by the American spirits company Sazerac, which took over the brand in 2016 and has focused on bringing more whiskey character back into the recipe.

    Smag

    The taste is a characteristic blend of whiskey, ripe fruit and spice, which together create a sweet, round and easy-drinking profile. The fruit and spice notes give the liqueur its recognisable, soft character, whether enjoyed neat or in a drink.

About Southern Comfort Liqueur

Southern Comfort is an American liqueur based on whiskey, fruit and spices, created in the New Orleans tradition. For the newcomer it's a sweet, easy-drinking entry into American spirits, mild enough to enjoy on ice or in a simple cocktail; for the connoisseur, Southern Comfort's secret, unchanged recipe and its role in classic drinks like the Alabama Slammer and Scarlett O'Hara are part of its status as an American cultural icon.

History & Background

Southern Comfort was created in 1874 by bartender M.W. Heron in New Orleans, who wanted to smooth out the taste of the often rough whiskey of the day by adding fruit and spices. The recipe became an instant hit in the city's saloons and rode the growth of the jazz age through the early 1900s. Southern Comfort has since changed hands several times and today sits within the Sazerac group's portfolio, but the original idea of a sweeter, more approachable whiskey-based liqueur remains at its core.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made with a whiskey base, spiced with fruit and seasonings according to a recipe that remains a secret to this day.

Signature Style

Sweet, Fruity, Soft
The flavor offers a soft, sweet character with clear notes of peach and vanilla.
