Question: what is the difference between southern comfort and whiskey?
Answer: And the bottle of brown liquid often sits next to the whiskey at your local liquor store, but it is not in fact a whiskey. Or a bourbon. ... Southern Comfort, which was first named Cuffs & Buttons, is in fact a liqueur -- a whiskey-flavored one. The original recipe was created by Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans.
