Southern Comfort Black 700ml
Picture the Southern Comfort you know, then turn the sugar down and the whiskey up. That's Black. It's the smooth, fruity, spiced one your mate loves, but bolder and drier, sitting at a proper 40%. Pour it over ice after a long day, sip it neat while the nyama choma's still smoking, or stretch it tall with cola when the night's just getting going. It does fun and it does serious, and that's the whole trick.
First whiff is ripe peach and warm baking spice, with a little vanilla and oak sitting underneath. The sip is where Black earns its name: rounded stone fruit and caramel, but the whiskey actually shows up this time, drier and warmer than the original instead of just sweet. It finishes long and toasty, more campfire glow than candy. Smooth enough to drink slow, with enough backbone that you know you're drinking the real thing.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Southern Comfort was dreamed up back in 1874 by a New Orleans bartender named Martin Wilkes Heron, who reckoned whiskey didn't have to be harsh to be good, so he softened it with fruit and spice. He first called it Cuffs and Buttons before the name we know stuck. These days it's made in the USA under the Sazerac family, the same New Orleans crew, who brought out Black as the bolder, less-sweet, higher-strength take on the original.
