Southern Comfort Original
The Vibrant Spirit of New Orleans
Southern Comfort Original, a whiskey-flavored liqueur with a rich history, has seen some notable changes under its current ownership by Sazerac Co., including the reintroduction of whiskey into its recipe. This change aimed to add depth and authenticity to its flavor profile, which had been absent in previous versions.
The liqueur comes in three proofs: the original 70, a new "whiskey-forward" 80, and a robust 100 proof version. Despite these changes, Southern Comfort has retained its characteristic taste, with the original offering a sweet, fruity, and slightly spicy flavor profile that's accessible to a wide range of drinkers.
The aroma of Southern Comfort is unique, often described as a blend of vanilla, lemon, oranges, and cinnamon, while the palate may remind one of cherries, vanilla, simple syrup, and cloves. The finish is where a hint of whiskey flavor comes through, albeit subtly, distinguishing itself from most syrupy liqueurs by being shorter and cleaner.
Southern Comfort remains a staple among liqueurs, celebrated for its classic taste and versatility in cocktails, despite not being categorized strictly as a whiskey liqueur anymore.
