About This Liqueur
Amarula Vanilla Spice Cream Liqueur is a limited-edition expression that builds on the success of the original Amarula Cream Liqueur by introducing the comforting flavours of vanilla and warming spice. Produced using the same marula fruit spirit that defines the Amarula range, this seasonal release offers a familiar creamy texture while adding a richer, more indulgent flavour profile suited to cooler evenings and festive occasions.
Like the original Amarula Cream Liqueur, the foundation of Amarula Vanilla Spice begins with the marula fruit, harvested in southern Africa before being fermented, distilled and matured in oak. This distinctive fruit spirit is then blended with fresh cream and enhanced with notes of vanilla and spice to create a smooth, velvety liqueur that feels both comforting and distinctive.
Rather than replacing the original Amarula, this seasonal expression offers Amarula fans an opportunity to enjoy a different flavour experience while retaining the creamy character and African heritage that define the brand.

How Does Amarula Vanilla Spice Differ from the Original?
The original Amarula Cream Liqueur remains the flagship expression of the brand, celebrated for its balance of marula fruit, fresh cream, caramel and vanilla.
Amarula Vanilla Spice takes that familiar foundation and introduces additional vanilla and warming spice notes, creating a richer seasonal profile while preserving the smooth texture that Amarula is known for.
Customers who already enjoy Amarula Cream Liqueur will find Amarula Vanilla Spice offers a comforting alternative that's particularly enjoyable during autumn and winter or whenever you're looking for a more indulgent serve.
