Wild Marula Fruit
Amarula Cream Liqueur
Amarula4.7(11,200 reviews)
Amarula Cream Liqueur is an award-winning, exceptionally smooth South African cream liqueur made from the fruit of the wild marula tree. Hand-harvested by local communities in the warm plains of Phalaborwa, the fresh fruit is fermented and double-distilled into a clear marula spirit. This spirit is matured in French oak casks for two years to inherit warming woody characters of vanilla and soft toast, and is then blended with fresh, velvet-textured dairy cream. The result is a delightfully light, fruit-driven cream liqueur with rich flavours of butterscotch, caramel, milk chocolate, and the unique, slightly nutty flavor of ripe marula fruit. Best enjoyed chilled over ice, in coffee, or drizzled over vanilla ice cream.

Origin: India
India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.

Expert Q&A
QWhat is the alcohol percentage of Amarula Cream Liqueur?
Amarula Cream Liqueur is bottled at 17% ABV (Alcohol by Volume), which is the standard strength for premium dairy cream spirits.
QHow does Amarula compare to Baileys Irish Cream?
While Baileys is made with Irish whiskey and cocoa, Amarula is made from a distilled marula fruit spirit. This gives Amarula a lighter, fruitier, and slightly nutty profile compared to the heavier cocoa-centric profile of Baileys.
QWhat does wild Marula fruit taste like?
Marula fruit has a exotic tropical taste, combining citrusy freshness with a sweet, creamy fruitiness and a delicate nutty undertone.
QWhat is the best way to drink Amarula?
Amarula is incredibly versatile. It is best served neat over a generous amount of ice, mixed into hot or iced coffee, shaken in creamy dessert cocktails, or poured directly over vanilla bean ice cream.
QWhat is the shelf life of Amarula Cream?
Unopened, Amarula retains its premium quality for up to two years when stored between 5°C and 25°C. Once opened, it is recommended to keep it refrigerated and consume it within six months for the best taste.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up Amarula Cream Liqueur. At ₹3,910 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Ripe marula fruit and Vanilla custard pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”
