Amarula Cream Liqueur
Made with Marula Fruit, Fresh Cream & Sugar | 17% ABV (34 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Amarula Cream Liqueur originates from South Africa and is uniquely made from the exotic marula fruit, often called “the elephant fruit.” Once ripe, the fruit is fermented, double-distilled, and then matured in oak casks for two years. After aging, it is blended with fresh dairy cream and sugar, resulting in a rich, velvety liqueur with natural fruit character. Bottled at 17% ABV, Amarula is smooth, decadent, and globally recognized for its distinctive taste.
