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.

The marula tree bears fruit only once a year, and the myth of drunken elephants eating the ripe, fermented fruit is one of South Africa's most famous stories - although scientists disagree on how much alcohol the fruit actually contains.

Cream and whisky sounds like a shortcut, but it is not when the whisky is actually good. Arran makes its own single malt at Lochranza and uses that rather than anonymous spirit, and you can taste it.

The Expert's Description

Arran Gold is a cream liqueur made with Single Island Malt Whisky from Arran, bottled at 17%. It is therefore not whisky but a cream-based liqueur in which the distillery’s own malt whisky forms the spirit component.

The difference from an ordinary cream liqueur lies precisely there. Most use neutral spirit or an anonymous blend, while Arran uses malt whisky from its own distillery. That gives a cereal sweetness and a light malt character beneath the toffee and chocolate which would otherwise disappear.

Arran Gold was named World’s Best Whisky Liqueur at Whisky Magazine’s World Whisky Awards in 2007. The distillery sits at Lochranza at the northern end of the Isle of Arran and was founded in 1995.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Toffee and milk chocolate first, with cocoa and a clear cream note. Beneath the sweetness sits a malty cereal note from the whisky, which makes the nose less one-dimensionally sweet than an ordinary cream liqueur.

Palate

Full and creamy. Caramel, chocolate and vanilla open, then the malt whisky comes through with a light cereal sweetness and a hint of oak. At 17% it is soft and easy to drink, but not thin.

Finish

Medium and creamy, with cocoa and a final malt note lingering after the sweetness.

The Arran distillery at Lochranza was founded in 1995 and was the first legal distillery on the island in over a century and a half. Arran otherwise had a long history of illicit distilling, since the island’s remote bays were well suited to keeping the excise at arm’s length. Today the family also runs a second distillery, Lagg, at the southern end of the island.

There is a lake at Coole Park in County Galway where W.B. Yeats counted fifty-nine swans and wrote a poem about them. This bottle takes its name from that poem. What is inside comes from a farm in County Meath, where two dairy farmers needed 231 attempts before they were happy with the taste.

The expert's description

Coole Swan Irish Cream Liqueur is an Irish Whiskyliqueur made with Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Belgian white chocolate and fresh Irish cream, bottled at 16%.

Behind the liqueur sits the family business The Scion Spirits Company, based at Otter Island in Tatestown near Navan, County Meath. Philip Brady and Mary Sadlier are dairy farmers themselves, and that is what makes the bottle interesting. Cream is the lead ingredient, not a binder. Only around four percent of milk is cream, and that is precisely the part this liqueur is built on.

The recipe reached the Irish market in March 2007. It holds fresh Irish dairy cream, Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, water, milk protein, sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Nothing else. No artificial flavourings, and it is noticeably less sweet than most other Irish cream liqueurs. Bottling happens in Bailieborough, County Cavan. Coole Swan has taken a double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a gold in the Irish Cream category at The Liqueur Masters in 2021.

The colour is not added. That pale, almost porcelain-white tone comes from the cream, the white chocolate, the cocoa and the vanilla. The bottle itself is modelled on a nineteenth century Irish milk bottle, and the matt finish is painted onto the glass.

Tasting notes

Nose

Cocoa butter and light milk chocolate first, then vanilla custard and a touch of spice. Something nutty sits behind it, and the whiskey does not hide.

Palate

Light and creamy without turning heavy. White chocolate, vanilla and toffee apple, with a darker cocoa note and a little cinnamon towards the middle. The sweetness is kept in check.

Finish

Long and clean. Malty, faintly cooling at the very end, and no sticky film left behind.

In County Cork on Ireland's green south coast, five family-owned farms pour their best milk into a shared vat, blended with triple-distilled Irish whiskey. That's how Five Farms comes to be, a cream liqueur built on neighbourly cooperation as much as craft.

Expert description

Five Farms Irish Whiskey Cream Liqueur is an Irish cream liqueur at 17% ABV from County Cork, Ireland. The 70 CL bottle brings together fresh cream from five family-owned farms with triple-distilled Irish whiskey, giving the liqueur its signature rich and creamy texture. The milk is collected and processed on the same day it is milked, a central part of the producer's philosophy around freshness and quality.

The result is a cream liqueur that is softer and less cloying than many other cream liqueurs, with a clear whiskey character tying the whole thing together.

Taste

The taste offers rich cream, coffee and caramel fudge, while vanilla lends a soft sweetness rounded off by the warm whiskey character of the triple-distilled Irish whiskey.

Salzburg is known for music, but the city also has coffee houses with heavy curtains and the sound of spoons against porcelain. Mozart Chocolate tastes as if someone poured one of those cups together with a broken piece of Belgian chocolate and let it steep.

Expert's description

Mozart Chocolate is an Austrian chocolate liqueur with coffee from Mozart Distillerie in Salzburg, made from cocoa beans, Belgian chocolate, cream, and arabica notes, at 17% alcohol.

Mozart Distillerie was founded in Salzburg in 1954 and has since stuck to one discipline: chocolate liqueur. The house works with cocoa beans, Belgian chocolate, and vanilla, and the coffee edition is the one in the range where the roast is allowed to take centre stage. The producer itself calls the mocha note the carrying element.

The coffee isn't layered on top like syrup. It sits inside the chocolate and pulls the sweetness toward the bitter side, which is exactly why the bottle holds its own in an Espresso Martini without help from an extra coffee liqueur. The colour is medium brown with darker reflections, and the texture is creamy without becoming thick.

The liqueur is gluten-free and contains milk products. It has been awarded several times, including gold at the World Spirits Award 2022 and gold at the DLG International Award the same year.

Taste

The aroma offers freshly roasted coffee beans first, distinct and almost dry. Behind that comes dark cocoa, a touch of vanilla, and a small hint of orange peel. The taste is creamy and bittersweet at once, where the mocha fills the middle, Belgian chocolate sits underneath, and the roast provides the edge. The sweetness is there, but it's never allowed to run wild. The finish is long and roasted – the cream falls away first, leaving a dry cocoa bitterness alongside the warmth of the coffee.

Listen to our podcast:

Most chocolate liqueurs chase softness. This one goes the other way. Mozart Dark Chocolate is thin like a spirit, dark brown with golden reflections, and it tastes of the cocoa bean before anybody stirred cream into it.

Expert description

Mozart Dark Chocolate is an Austrian Dark Chocolate Liqueur from Mozart Distillerie in Salzburg, built on a maceration of 87% cocoa with no cream and bottled at 17%.

The absence of dairy is the whole point. Where the rest of the range uses cream to round the cocoa off, this bottle stands alone on the cocoa maceration, which makes it vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free. The texture is thin and very fluid rather than creamy, and that changes how it behaves in a glass.

The flavour leans bitter without drying out. The cocoa carries a smoky, almost herbal edge that many people associate with bars of 80% and upwards, and underneath it vanilla and caramel keep the balance. The producer also points to a trace of toffee through the middle.

With no cream in the recipe it mixes differently. It does not curdle in citrus, it does not fall apart in a shaker with something sour, and it works where a cream liqueur would ruin the clarity. Among its medals are gold at the World Spirits Award 2022 and gold at the Meininger International Spirits Award the same year.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry and dark. Roasted cocoa first, then a smoky, almost herbal tone, and finally vanilla settling gently across the top.

Palate

Very fluid and bittersweet. Cocoa fills everything at the start, sharp and almost powdery, until caramel and toffee take over and round it out through the middle.

Finish

Long and dry. Sweetness disappears quickly, leaving bitter cocoa and a faint smokiness that stays put.

Flavour profile

Bitter cocoa · Smoky · Vanilla · Caramel

Did you know?

The cocoa comes from West Africa and is a blend of the Forastero and Trinitario varieties, while the vanilla is genuine Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. Those two raw materials are what give the liqueur its smoky edge and the soft vanilla tone under the bitterness.

Strawberry and white chocolate is a pairing pastry chefs have lived off for generations. Mozart has poured it into a bottle in Salzburg, and the result is pink, creamy and considerably lighter than the description promises.

Expert description

Mozart Strawberry Chocolate is an Austrian White Chocolate Liqueur with strawberry from Mozart Distillerie in Salzburg, made with cocoa butter, cream and natural strawberry aroma and bottled at 15%.

The house has made chocolate liqueur and almost nothing else since 1954, and the strawberry edition is the most fruit-driven bottle in the range. The colour is a light strawberry pink and the texture is creamy without being heavy, which the producer describes as a light body.

The strawberry has been added to the white chocolate liqueur rather than the other way round. Cocoa butter and cream still form the floor, while the vanilla ties fruit and chocolate together. That combination is why it carries a dessert cocktail without needing either syrup or fruit puree.

The liqueur contains milk products. It has taken gold at the DLG International Award 2022, silver at the World Spirits Award 2022 and bronze at the IWSC 2022.

Tasting notes

Nose

Strawberry first, ripe fruit rather than tart. Behind it sit cocoa butter and a soft breath of vanilla.

Palate

Creamy without being thick. White chocolate lays the floor, the strawberry rests on top, and the vanilla holds the two together. The sweetness is obvious but never turns artificial.

Finish

Medium and milky. The fruit lets go first, and the cocoa butter is left standing alone with a little vanilla.

White chocolate is not really chocolate at all. There is no cocoa mass in it, only cocoa butter, milk and sugar. Mozart White Chocolate is that argument poured into a bottle: milky white, soft, and with vanilla calling the shots.

Expert description

Mozart White Chocolate is an Austrian White Chocolate Liqueur from Mozart Distillerie in Salzburg, made with cocoa butter, cream and Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, and bottled at 15%.

It is the lightest bottle in the house, in colour and in weight. The liquid is milky white and semi-fluid, so lighter than a classic cream liqueur, and the strength sits a couple of degrees below the coffee and dark editions. That makes it easier to drink in quantity where the others turn filling.

Vanilla leads, caramel follows right behind, and the cocoa butter supplies the richness that holds everything together. The producer describes the taste as liquid white chocolate with a hint of spirit, which is fair enough: you notice the alcohol, but it never cuts.

The liqueur is gluten-free and contains dairy. It is made entirely from natural ingredients and has taken gold at the World Spirits Award 2022, the London Spirits Competition 2022 and the DLG International Award the same year.

Tasting notes

Nose

Vanilla straight away, sweet and reminiscent of baking. Underneath sit warm milk and a fatty, almost buttery impression from the cocoa butter.

Palate

Light and milky in the mouth rather than thick. Vanilla and caramel share the middle, and there is a soft sweetness closer to dessert than to spirit. The alcohol only shows up at the end.

Finish

Short to medium and buttery. The sweetness fades slowly, leaving a thin film of cocoa butter across the tongue.
