Southern Comfort Original (70cl, 35%)

Southern Comfort Original is a liqueur combining whiskey with fruit and spice notes. The recipe links back to the brand's beginnings with whiskey, stone fruits and spices. This bottling contains 35% alcohol in a 0.7 litre bottle. It can be drunk neat over ice or mixed with cola and ginger ale, and suits cocktails such as the Alabama Slammer. Caramel colouring gives it its colour. The nose shows juicy orange, honey and fine herbs. The palate combines vanilla and caramelised fruits with ripe peach and orange, plus cinnamon and a fine lemon note over the whiskey base. The finish keeps vanilla, honey and pleasant spice.
