Amarula Gin
No cream, no liqueur: a dry 43% ABV gin with the marula fruit from the cream liqueur as its main botanical. Fruity and spicy, made for a great gin and tonic.
The same fruit, a very different drink
If you know Amarula for its cream liqueur with the elephant, this bottle may take some getting used to. Amarula Gin is a clear, dry 43% ABV gin from South Africa. What it shares with the liqueur is marula: a fruit that grows on wild trees in southern Africa and is hand-harvested for this gin.
Alongside marula, it contains juniper berries, orange blossom, grains of paradise and orange peel. Juniper makes it unmistakably gin, while marula and orange bring fruit, and the grains of paradise add peppery spice. The result is a balanced, fruity and spicy gin made for a premium gin and tonic or a cocktail.
