Is Southern Comfort a liquor or liqueur?

Answer 1

It's not bourbon or whiskey.
It's a neutral grain spirit with whiskey flavoring added. Essentially, that makes it a 'fake' whiskey, which is why it tastes more like cough syrup than actual whiskey.

That also makes it a LIQUEUR, which you will also note is listed at the bottom of the SC website.

Answer 3

It's a common misconception that Southern comfort is a liquor. Most people think it's a type of whiskey because of its relatively high alcohol content and bite.

But it's NOT! It's actually an orange liqueur. Spread the word. Or don't. I don't think most Soco and lime drinkers really care what it is.

JKK is right and everyone else is wrong. But that's not surprising because he is a pirate and pirates can't go wrong. Especially when it comes to the subject of Liquor.

Right... 1- Soco isn't a whisky, it's a whisky liqueur. Once you add anything to whisky that isn't water, it's not whisky anymore. It's also not a hard liquor unless you're drinking the 100 proof version. Just being nitpicky here. 2- Captain Morgan isn't a whisky at all, it's rum. That said, I don't know what to recommend to you. I think SoCo tastes awful, so I don't know if you'd like my recommendations. But I'll try. SoCo is sweet & bourbon flavored, so I'd start looking at good bourbons. I'm a fan of Bulleit, Beam Black Label and Makers for inexpensive mid-shelf bourbons. If you want to go Tennessee style, I like Jack's Single Barrel and Dickel's Cascade Hollow. I don't like Jack Black or Dickel's #8 or #12, though. Outside of Bourbon you get into barley based whiskies like Irish whisky and Scotch. There's some great stuff, but it's more grain and wood flavor and less sweet fruit. If you want to give them a try, I'd start with miniatures to see if it's worth even starting to look at Single Malts or good blends.

Answer 8

Southern comfort is a liquor.

A liquor (distilled beverage) is a liquid preparation meant for consumption containing ethyl alcohol (ethanol) purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as fruit, vegetables, or grain. The word spirits generally refers to distilled beverages low in sugars and containing at least 35% alcohol by volume. Gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, brandy, and tequila are types of spirits. Beverages high in both alcohol and sugar content such as Grand Marnier, Frangelico and schnapps are generally referred to as liqueurs. The term liquor may mean spirits; spirits and liqueurs; or all alcoholic beverages, including wine, sake, beer, and mead. The source of this word is its close relative, "liquid". Both came from Latin verb liquere, meaning "to be fluid". The word liquor was first used in English to mean "a fluid" in the late 1200s; in the 1700s, the term was first applied to alcoholic beverages.

A liqueur (cordial) is a sweet alcoholic beverage, often flavoured with fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, seeds, roots, plants, barks, and sometimes cream. The word liqueur comes from the latin word liquifacere which means "to dissolve." This refers to the dissolving of the flavorings used to make the liqueur. Liqueurs are not usually aged for long periods of time, but may have resting periods during their production to allow the flavors to marry.

Answer 9

The percent alcohol content determines what an alcoholic beverage is. I believe if it's over 40% alcohol, it's considered liquor. For sure, it can get you as drunk as drinking liqour, wine or beer.

Answer 10

Liquor, but just barely. Chicks like it.
