Southern Comfort®
SOUTHERN COMFORT is the first liqueur crafted in the United States and remains an American classic. It originated in New Orleans, where in 1874 a barman named M. W. Herron created a concoction named Cuffs and Buttons, an upscale reference to white tie and tails. He later moved to St. Louis where he renamed his luxurious potion Southern Comfort.

The liqueur is now made in Louisville, Kentucky, from the same closely guarded, proprietary recipe. The makers of Southern Comfort have let it be known that it is crafted from a base of pure grain neutral spirits and is flavored with peach liqueur, fresh peach and natural citrus extracts. After the infusion process is complete, the liqueur is filtered and bottled at 80 proof.

It is interesting to note that to this day many people think of Southern Comfort as a bourbon. This widely held misconception is easily understood. Southern Comfort has a marvelous, whiskey quality to its character. The liqueur has a flawlessly textured, medium-weight body and a delectable bouquet with floral and citrus notes. Its sensationally delicious palate features the long lasting flavors of fresh peaches, oranges and vanilla.

Southern Comfort is an extremely versatile liqueur and an absolute “must have” product.
