A true American original with more than a century of history, Southern Comfort Original Liqueur 1L delivers that unmistakable mix of whiskey warmth, fruit sweetness and spice. For many drinkers, Southern Comfort 1L is the bottle that captures an easy-going Southern mood in a glass.
About Southern Comfort Original Liqueur 1L
Southern Comfort was born in New Orleans in the 1870s, when a bartender began infusing rough local whiskey with fruit and spices to make it smoother. Over time, that experiment evolved into the Southern Comfort recipe we know today: a whiskey-based liqueur with notes of peach, citrus, vanilla and subtle baking spice. The Southern Comfort 1L bottle gives you plenty of volume to explore those flavours in mixed drinks, cocktails and simple pours over ice.
At around 35% ABV, Southern Comfort Original sits slightly below standard whiskey strength but above many gentle liqueurs. This makes the Southern Comfort 1L size strong enough to hold up in long drinks while remaining approachable for neat sipping. Tasting profiles often mention sweet peach and orange on the nose, warm vanilla and dried fruit on the palate, and a smooth, lightly spiced finish that defines the Comfort experience.
