I'm sorry baby. Don't leave me.

Southern Comfort is a peach flavored bourbon liqueur, produced in St. Louis, Missouri. It is available as both 100 proof (50 percent alcohol) and 70 proof (35 percent alcohol)ans is considered a Whiskey Liqueur. Southern Comfort's unique American spirit is still one of a kind, and still made according to the much-guarded secret original formula. Southern Comfort is created in 1874 by M.W. Heron in his bar near La Rue Bourbon in New Orleans and served in traditional fashion from a whiskey barrel. Seeking greater fortune, M.W. Heron opens a bar near Beale Street in Memphis and begins bottling Southern Comfort and selling it for $2.50 a bottle. The original labels were signed by Heron himself and carried the phrase, "None genuine but mine." Back in production after Prohibition, Southern Comfort introduces a new label featuring a Southern plantation house on the banks of the Mississippi. A blend of bourbon and peach liqueur. Originated in the late 1800's as a drink called a Cuffs & Buttons, made from bourbon and peach liqueur in which fresh peaches were marinated. The peach taste made the bourbon much more palatable to those that did not like straight whiskey. It also has citrus and orange overtones and is not too sweet, according to Kindred Spirits, which gave the liqueur a *** or above average rating.
