Amarula Distillery

Established in 1983 producing the first spirit distilled from the South African Marula Fruit. There is just one place on earth where the marula trees grow – across Africa’s subequatorial plains. And there is just one time of year when the marula trees bear their exotic fruit – at the height of summer. The size of small plums but oval in shape, the marula fruit ripens to a rich yellow, with a tough outer skin surrounding its fibrous, white flesh. Containing four times more vitamin C than the average orange, marula is a succulent fruit with a citrus tang and a creamy, nutty taste. In 1989 they added cream to the receipe and Amarula Cream Liqueur was launched in South Africa and exported across the world from 1994.
