Amarula Cream Liqueur
Dairy/Egg Liqueurs — South Africa

January 9, 2020 (edited November 16, 2023)
Appearance: Opaque beige, like milky coffee.
Aroma: Fruity, malty, caramel nougat. There is an almost bizarre *tiny* waft that is reminiscent of scotch whisky.
Flavour and Texture: Creamy and dairy sweet, a little alcohol is detectable but it's very light. Caramel and soft fruity flavours, but it's not bright fresh fruit - more like faint stewed figs or dates. There is a slight hazelnut or macadamia note in the aftertaste and a butterscotch character.
Guilty confession time - I utterly adore this liqueur. I could drink far more of it than was healthy in a single sitting, I find it so compelling. The closest thing to which I can compare it is Bailey's Irish Cream but it is way better. I've served it to people who are not normally fond of creamy liqueurs and they have become instant converts.
Part of my love for this is undoubtedly nostalgia, as I have vivid memories of the first time I tasted it and the company I was with, but that doesn't diminish its quality.
Wonderful neat, on the rocks, as a milkshake, in strong black coffee, over ice-cream, and so on. Try freezing it to make Amarula gelato (yummy).
