Southern Comfort, which is technically a liqueur because it is a blend of whiskey and fruit flavors (including peach), was developed in 1874 by M.W. Heron at his bar in New Orleans.

The terpene profile of plants from the three areas exhibited a good deal of variation, ranging from the richest arrays seen in plants from the northern sites, through highly heterogeneous arrays in plants from the central part of the range, to a comparatively simple array in plants from the Heron Island site. Only in the case of northern region were identical chemical profiles observed in plants from different sites (Milne and Telford Reefs). The data appear in Table 5.3.

More recently, Henry et al. (2002) have applied this same profile approach to dorrble-crested cormorants, snowy egrets, and black-crowned night herons from the Carson River system, demonstrating its across-species applicability. Hermy and coworkers expanded the profile to include histopathological parameters.
