crown royal vs southern comfort (1 Viewer)

Yeah this isn't not a Bourbon thread since neither Soco or Crown are Bourbons.

To me this isn't even close. SoCo is what you drink when you just want to get hammered and want to do it for cheap. Crown is in another league in my opinion. While it doesn't have the proof content of SoCo it is much smoother and has a much better taste and trust me it is way better the next day, if you know what I am saying.

This is a skewed comparison in my opinion. It is like comparing a Lincoln or Cadillac to a ford taurus or a chevy caviler. Just doesn't seem right. Now if you wanted to compare Crown to Canadian Club or Seagream's 7 that would be O.k. Or if you wanted to compare SoCo to like Wild Turkey or some other cheap liquer that is fine. But IMO they are just in two different leagues.

I would take Crown any day, but I am a Bourbon man myself. And there is nothing better than a nice bottle of Basil Hayden's of Maker's Mark!!!!
 
hmm. where did the OP mention BOURBON, the question was crown vs SoCo.. big DIFF.
bourbon should be reserved for another discussion.
that being said, if'n i'm wanting to drink, I enjoy a good crown... if'n i'm wanting to get screwed up.. soco it is.. for some reason it hits me harder than anything else.. even everclear. gotta be something in it, i'm sensitive to.


My point was, why waste your time with anything else? When you need a good drink, reach for the Maker's.
 
Though I've had a very, very long SoCo phase (both the 70 & 100 proofs depending on occasion), I have to give Crown the upper hand on this one, purely from a "next day" perspective. I can drink a fifth and be perfectly fine the next morning, where with SoCo a Mack Truck morning is always always going to happen. Just like too many 190 Octanes from the Daq. shop will do, because of the sweetness. Sometimes the wife and I will get a fifth of SoCo just for nostalgic purposes, though. Best drink I ever had containing it was when we put some 100 proof in a blender with Coke, ice, and some juice we made from boiling some good ol' cow patty fungi. That's what you call a FUBAR Icee. Man, those were the days!
 
Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle of 40 Creek. Same price as CR and a thousand times more tasty.
 
soco is terrible
crown is for mixing with coke
maker's or gentlemen jack is for sipping

Soco- what you sneak into a sporting event in a coke bottle in your back pocket and chug to get hammered

Crown- what you order on the rocks if you're on a plane or in a casino and all the drinks are free/cost the same
 
I may have to give it a shot. I am currently enjoying a bottle of Woodford Reserve. I have only tried the "Old Forrester Birthday Reserve" and Woodford Reserve so far and I rate Woodford way above Old Forrester. I hear good things about Buffalo trace as well.

Someone here knows a little about small batch, premium alcohol. Try the Makers Mark, Eeyore, you should enjoy.
 
SoCo is made from grain alcohol, sugar, and a little caramel flavoring.

Really.
