The fruit that provides Amarula liqueur with its unique flavor comes from the marula tree. Tall and green, marula trees grow wild in sub-Saharan Africa. By mid-February, the fruits are ripe for harvest. Many wild animals, but especially elephants, are crazy about succulent and nutritious fruit. They have been known to shake the tree to dislodge their favorite snack! The marula fruit is picked by hand, the skin and pit are removed, only the white pulp is fermented and distilled to form the Marula. It is essential that fresh Marula pulp is ground and distilled as quickly as possible to retain its fresh, fruity flavors in the spirit of Marula. This complex and delicate alcohol is then distilled with botanicals - sweet and subtle notes of juniper berries and orange blossom complement the exotic marula fruit perfectly, resulting in a balanced and refreshing gin. This gin has a unique character thanks to its African character and can be enjoyed by all gin lovers, dry or with a tonic.
