well for one thing.. to be called scotch it has to be made, matured and bottled in scotland for no less than 3 years.
Actually, they're all quite good with cereal or on pancakes.
By the way, Southern Comfort is not bourbon.

Woot I can Link too!
Yay for me!
And again!
I've always heard SC being called a Whisky/Bourbon. I don't drink the stuff though.
Southern Comfort is an amateur's drink. It's a nasty, syrupy concoction that no real man would ever drink. In fact, I understand it is the preferred beverage of Michael Jackson when he is entertaining overnight guests.
Ditto, you were provided 4 links that say it's a Bourbon style Whiskey (Whiskey Bourbon) and you post saying that anyone who drinks it isn't a man.
It wasn't a comeback, it's a truth. Idiots who think you're not a man cause you drink a drink they don't like. It's called a stereotype. Lame if you ask me.
The liquor you drink doesn't make you a "real man". Being a respectable human, a good husband, a good father, a good person and hard worker....any one of those things makes you a "Real man".
EDIT: lets get back on topic though. I'm sure there are some good resources out there that show the difference in how each is made and what makes them what they are.
No, you provided four links that advertised that crap as bourbon style whiskey. It cannot be called bourbon because it doesn't fit the specific and stringent requirements to be called bourbon.
Bourbon style and bourbon are very different products. Leather like upholstery is not leather. Wood style furniture is not mahogany.
Check out the link I just provided about the liquores. Per the link
"Bourbon Whiskey is distilled from a mash grain that must contain at least 51% corn and normally aged four years in new charred oak barrels."
It's listed under Whiskey, check it out.
Bourbon Whiskey Information
"Whisky produced from a fermented mash of corn, rye, wheat, malted barley or malted rye grain."

Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
kentucky bourbon whiskey -
Kentucky bourbon whiskey is America's only native spirit. It is distilled from a minimum of 51% corn and a blend of barley and rye or wheat. For a product to be called 'bourbon" it must be produced in Bourbon County, Kentucky. That is what makes it different from sour mash whisky. The bourbon county that matters is the old Bourbon county. When you see a label that says "Old Bourbon" it is referring to the old county in Kentucky and not the age of the drink. The old kentucky bourbon county encompasses about 30 plus modern counties in Kentucky.

I expect a freaking apology unless you can provide me multiple links saying that Bourbon Whiskey is not a real liquor sold.
Yeah, that seems like a real definitive site on the subject. Oh, when I'm there I can also read up on arranged marriages in Calcutta and Bombay. Sheesh. Stick with a subject you know. You are clearly out of your league here.
Again, you can read up on bourbon at straightbourbon.com.
For now, I'm locking this thread.

Apparently you can't tell the difference between %100 straight bourbon and a Bourbon Whiskey. You've only shown that 1 website.
FROM YOUR VERY OWN WEBSITE
Lined up along a tasting counter are 14 Bourbons. Mostly single-barrel or small-batch, they include some of the finest premium Bourbon whiskeys available. Hancock's Reserve, Rock Hill Farms, Blanton's and Ancient Age 10 Year Old from Ancient Age; Elijah Craig and Evan Williams from Heaven Hill; Wild Turkey Rare Breed from Wild Turkey; Baker's 107, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's and Booker's from Jim Beam; Old Forester from Brown-Forman; and Maker's Mark standard six-year-old and an experimental eight-year-old.
On a tour of the Wild Turkey distillery in Lawrenceburg, Russell carefully explains the various Bourbon-making steps: "All Bourbon whiskey, I don't care if it's single-barrel, small-batch, or whatever, is distilled from a fermented mash of corn, barley and one other grain, usually rye. Your fermentation will take three to four days, depending on the temperature you keep the mash at. Here at Wild Turkey, we still use the old-fashioned, cypress fermenting tanks for most of our production; some are more than 100 years old. I guess you'd say we're kind of traditional in our approach.
Yes I'M clearly out of my league here!

That's the only site you need. Real bourbon is straight bourbon. It is not blended. The distillery that makes those blends calls it bourbon because they need to sell it. It's marketing. Do you think anyone would buy Southern Comfort and the like if it was advertised as a "sweet, fruity, syrupy mix of fruits and sugar that slightly resembles bourbon"?
It's like the American distilleries calling the crap they put out scotch. It ain't scotch if it isn't distilled and bottled in Scotland. Johnnie Walker, Dewar's, etc. are blends. They are not single malt scotch.
True champagne comes from the Champagne region of France only, and is made with one type of grape grown only in that region using a very specific process. Asti Spumante is not champagne because it has bubbles. Are you still in the dark about this? I don't know what else can be said to lessen your ignorance on this matter.
I don't really understand what you guys are fighting about. It says right in the ad that it's a Blend. Call Southern Comfort what ever you want, but no real whiskey drinker is going have anything to do with it, the sheeet tastes cough syrup.

Per you?re OWN words "It cannot be called bourbon because it doesn't fit the specific and stringent requirements to be called bourbon." Which is simply FALSE. For some reason your inability to realize there are different categories of Bourbon is beyond me. Sure there is 100% straight Bourbon, but there is also a Bourbon Whiskey. Why can't you see this?
Your own website further goes on to talk about the history of Bourbon Whiskey. Just because YOU feel it is a marketing ploy doesn't mean it is. I guess you missed that. I'm still in the dark because I have provided more than enough information to back up my claims that there is genuine Bourbon Whiskey type liquor on the market and even shown how it is distilled and made.
You on the other hand want a cop out with no sufficient evidence to back your claim up. Again, please provide links that specifically state that Bourbon Whiskey is a marketing ploy and not genuine liquor. Your own website backs up MY claim, not yours.
BTW: what happen with the thread lock captain mod??
We're not fighting about SC persay, we're fighting over the fact that Bourbon Whiskey is real or not. I said I've often heard SC called a Bourbon Whiskey, he's saying there is no such thing, which is false. SC probably does taste like crap, but I've never personally drank it.
Southern Comfort is to Bourbon as Latte is to Esspreso.
Southern Comfort and Lattes are both mixtures which contain a stronger base, but there is no way that the mixtures can be held up as a typical sample of the base drink.
