Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur 750ML is a 12.5% ABV cream liqueur made with fresh dairy cream, natural pumpkin flavoring, and baking spices in a 750ml bottle. Introduced nationally in 2011, it is widely recognized as the first-ever pumpkin pie cream liqueur brought to market, a distinction that helped establish pumpkin-spice cream liqueurs as an entire category.

Quick Facts: ABV: 12.5% (25 proof)  |  Origin: Bardstown, Kentucky, USA  |  Style: Cream Liqueur  |  Producer: Heaven Hill Distilleries

Production & Heritage

Fulton's Harvest is produced by Heaven Hill Distilleries, one of America's largest independent, family-owned spirits companies, founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky. The liqueur starts with a grain-alcohol base, into which fresh dairy cream, natural pumpkin flavoring, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are blended. At 12.5% ABV, it sits at a lower proof point than many cream liqueurs, keeping the sweetness and spice forward while maintaining a gentle, approachable alcohol presence.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with the unmistakable scent of pumpkin pie, carrying a mild, nutty quality reminiscent of graham crackers and baked pie crust. Underneath, there is a subtle sweetness of vanilla and warm baking spice.

Taste: The entry is thick and unmistakably creamy, with a rich dairy-forward character that quickly gives way to a moderate rush of sweetness. At mid-palate, equal parts pumpkin, pie crust, and vanilla emerge, followed by a wave of cinnamon and nutmeg that reads more as traditional pie spice than raw pumpkin.

Finish: The finish is warm and lingering, with a gentle cinnamon-nutmeg fade and only a mild hint of alcohol. Residual cream and vanilla leave a smooth, dessert-like impression that lingers pleasantly.

How to Drink Fulton's Harvest

Served chilled and neat in a small glass, this liqueur delivers the closest experience to drinking a slice of pumpkin pie. It also works well over ice or as a flavored addition to hot coffee or espresso. Three cocktails to try:

• Pumpkin Pie Martini — Shake with vanilla vodka and a cinnamon-sugar rim for a dessert cocktail that highlights the liqueur's spice profile.
• Pumpkin White Russian — Substitute Fulton's Harvest for part of the cream component alongside coffee liqueur and vodka; the pumpkin spice adds a seasonal twist.
• Spiked Pumpkin Hot Chocolate — Stir into warm hot chocolate for a rich, cold-weather drink where the cream base integrates seamlessly.

Why Fulton's Harvest?

This was the first pumpkin pie cream liqueur to reach national distribution in 2011, effectively creating a niche that other brands later followed.

The lower 12.5% ABV keeps the drinking experience approachable and versatile, working equally well neat, on ice, in coffee, or in cocktails. For seasonal entertaining or simply satisfying a pumpkin-spice craving, it remains the original benchmark in its category.
