What is Southern Comfort?
Southern Comfort, often mistaken for a whiskey, is actually a whiskey-based liqueur created in 1874 by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans. Interestingly, the original recipe included whiskey, fruit, and spices, but the modern version doesn't necessarily contain any whiskey at all – instead, it's made with a neutral grain spirit base flavored to taste like whiskey, along with fruit and spice flavors.
Why do we love Southern Comfort?
Southern Comfort stands out from traditional rums due to its unique blend of whiskey, fruit, and spices, creating a distinctively smooth and versatile flavor profile. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, Southern Comfort's whiskey base and proprietary blend of fruits and spices offer cocktail enthusiasts a rich, complex foundation for mixed drinks that can't be replicated with standard spirits.
How do you drink Southern Comfort?
Southern Comfort shines in fruity cocktails or simply served over ice, allowing its sweet and spicy notes to take center stage. It's a versatile spirit that works well year-round, but feels especially at home during warm summer evenings or cozy fall gatherings, pairing nicely with barbecue, Cajun cuisine, or even as a complement to peach cobbler for dessert.

Nose: Peach and apricot dominate, with hints of vanilla and whiskey. Light notes of cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth. A touch of citrus zest brightens the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and syrupy. Fruit-forward with peach and orange flavors. Subtle whiskey backbone provides depth. Vanilla and honey sweetness balances light spice notes. Mild oak character emerges.
Finish: Medium length. Lingering fruit sweetness fades to reveal more whiskey character. Soft warmth with a slight peppery tingle. Leaves a subtle oak and vanilla aftertaste.
Southern Comfort is produced by blending whiskey with fruit and spice flavorings, though the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret. Interestingly, the brand's creator, Martin Wilkes Heron, originally developed Southern Comfort as a way to smooth out the harsh taste of unaged whiskeys in the late 1800s, using fruits and spices readily available in New Orleans.
