    I got a bottle of southern comfort for christmas. Tried it for the first time and found it revolting. PM me and you can have it :D
  • Southern comfort is great, but rather pricey. I haven't seen any cheap versions out there, but just a note, steer clear of the mixed/blended whiskey's in iceland - they may be cheap but I ended up very ill from one particular type (Scotched - should've been worried just by the name I suppose).

    Off to asda tomorrow so if I see anything I'll post my findings here.

    I haven't tried it myself but Tesco has a Louisana spirit in similar bottle & colour, stacked next to Southern Comfort for £8.99 (I think) at the moment.

    Ask them to. They should be able to bring it in for you. Ask a couple of times if you have to ;)

    I am kind of stuck as to the choice between soco and a single malt, both are pricey but I like them both. I haven't seen anything like the posts here, and the cheapest single malt I can find is Aberlour on offer for £16.99, sorry I can't be more assisstance though.
