Originating in New Orleans, this liqueur is produced by Sazerac Company and represents a higher-strength version of the classic Southern Comfort. Developed in the late 19th century, the original recipe was created to soften and flavour whiskey with fruit and spice, resulting in a smoother and more approachable style. The 100 Proof expression builds on this identity while offering greater intensity and structure.
The formulation blends whiskey with fruit and spice components, creating a layered profile that balances sweetness with warmth. At a higher alcohol level, the flavours are more pronounced, and the finish carries greater weight, making it suitable for both mixing and standalone use. Positioned in the mid-tier category, it provides a bolder interpretation of a well-established liqueur, maintaining its signature character with added depth.
