 Southern Comfort was created by New Orleans bartender, Martin Wilkes (M.W.) Heron in 1874. After experimenting with a variety of fruits, spices and other spirits, Heron struck on the perfect combination creating a one-of-a-kind blend of whiskey, fruit, and spice flavors.
The new Bold Black Cherry product carries on Southern Comfort’s heritage as the leader in the flavored spirit category. The combination of dark fruits with Southern Comfort is perfectly served with cola to enhance the rich, complex flavor.

Following yet another new line extension after the release of Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper which BourbonBlog.com was the first to review,  the brand tells us they are confident that new expressions will continue to increase relevancy amongst younger drinkers, offering a bolder drink that’s ideal for high energy occasions.

Southern Comfort Lime was launched in 2010 and this  continued with Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper last October.  “We feel Bold Black Cherry will recruit new consumers into the Southern Comfort franchise who enjoy a distinctive flavor profile in their cocktails,” Mark Bacon, VP, Managing Director, Southern Comfort tells BourbonBlog.com.

Infused with natural cherry to deliver an authentic taste that’s smooth and invigorating, Southern Comfort Bold Black Cherry has been designed to appeal to a broad age range and meet consumer demand for great tasting flavors that are unique. Here’s a recipe below to get you started!

Southern Comfort Bold Black Cherry will be available across the United States as well as the United Kingdom and Ireland.
