Southern Comfort

[Kiwi Phil]

Any of you blokes out there drink Southern Comfort?
I am a glenfiddich man, and for liqueur, then usually Glayva

Wife got me a big bottle of one of Southern Comfort Liqueurs, in a fancy tin. (I am a sucker for fancy tins associated with the alcoholic industry. I save them).
Anyway, I have a problem with this Southern Comfort Liqueur. It is a bit like lolly water, and although it states 30%, it certainly dosn't have any great 'boot' to it. I frequently drink the standard stuff to give my digestive system some variety, and found half a bottle could give me a different outlook on my life. This stuff can't - well, not that I notice anyway.
So my Q is, is this stuff really good or is it just meeting a softer market, so to speak.

Cheer
Phillip

Re: Southern Comfort

lolly water for sure

mom used to put it in her fruit punch for the old women, while the men drank brandy, whiskey, and beer

They do make 100 proof Southern Comfort. Maybe that's just what the doctor ordered. I have a buddy who will only drink that stuff and he mixes it with Mt. Dew. Way too sweet for my taste.

I have recently been converted from Chivas Regal to MacAllan. I tried Southern Comfort a few times. Don't know what Lolly Water is, but if it is like drinking sugar SC is definitely like it.

Re: Southern Comfort

Macallan or Glenfiddich...either is good for me. It's what I drink when not having beer or wine.

Re: Southern Comfort

Scotch serves a very useful purpose in using up malt that isn't good enough to be made into beer....so it has that upside....

But Southern Comfort is right there with Lemon Gin, Peach Schnapps, and a few other notables as being the answers to questions that nobody will ever ask :facepalm:

Re: Southern Comfort

SC and Scotch should not be mentioned in the same thread. Pour it out Phil . . .

Re: Southern Comfort

Here is a bottle of Southern Comfort that has been sitting at our marina tiki for several years now untouched. I have never seen anybody take a swig of her till recently......and this was by an iboat member, which I won't name at this time. He had the hiccups for the rest of the evening!

That would only last the weekend on my boat.

I live in Wisconsin and do not work for 3-4 months a year. What do you think I do all winter? I drank a liter of 110 proof white whiskey straight, no ice or anything in 2 days last week. Pretty sure I'm not a rookie.
