Amarula Cream Liqueur Shots 70 cl 17%

The elephants' favourite fruit becomes South Africa's most famous cream liqueur - Amarula captures the warm, tropical flavour of the marula tree's fruit and wraps it in a smooth, creamy liqueur.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Amarula is a South African cream liqueur made from a distillate of marula fruit and cream, bottled at 17% ABV.

Amarula is produced by the Southern Liqueur Company, part of the South African spirits company Distell, which was acquired by Heineken Beverages in 2023. The liqueur is based on fruit from the African marula tree, which bears fruit only once a year. As the fruit ripens in the sun, it attracts elephants among other animals, which act as natural indicators of when the harvest should begin. After harvest, it takes two years to process the fruit into the finished liqueur.

Smag

Amarula has a smooth, creamy taste with notes of vanilla and tropical fruit, carried by the rich flavour of the marula fruit. The liqueur is sweet and round on the palate with a warm, slightly tart finish.
