Review: Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur

Review: Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur

How do you know that fall has arrived? Easy: Pumpkin-flavored liqueurs arrive on the shelves.

Fulton’s, produced by Kentucky’s Heaven Hill, is a limited-edition liqueur available only from September to November. Now available nationally, this cream liqueur tells its tale simply by looking at its name.

The color is that of chocolate milk, and the nose is mild and a bit nutty, almost like graham crackers. On the palate, it’s very creamy (serve cold, of course, and refrigerate after opening), with a moderate rush of sweetness, followed by more of a pie spice character than anything specifically pumpkin. The nice thing about Fulton’s is that the sweetness isn’t overdone, a common problem with cream liqueurs that makes them too cloying to drink. Fulton’s goes easy on both the spice and the sweetness. Really, a vague milk character is the most evident part of the drink, but the autumnal spice character really does make one long for Thanskgiving dinner — especially dessert.

By the way, how do you know when fall is over? Easy: Pumpkin-flavored liqueurs sell for $3.99 a bottle.

25 proof.

    This liquor is amazing! I crave more with each drink. The description above articulates the flavors, aromas, and textures.

    You can find it in Mass at Whiskey Hill Liquors in West Warren, MA. You can find us on facebook if you’re local too.

    Fulton Pumpkin Pie Cream Liquor is too sweet for those of us that are leaning toward diabetes or counting calories and like booze. Try pouring two oz and adding two oz of you favorite booze. I use brandy and sometimes add a splash of club soda too. Same bar strategy as slippery nipple etc, but using the PPCL instead of other liquors for the flavor. Had some company over and after two after dinner drinks with the brandy added and hot tub, I looked around and some were topless and some bottomless. Blame it on the great PUMPKIN!

    Due to it being the holiday season, I have been searching and searching for everything pumpkin! I found this at the store the other day and absolutely fell in love with it! It is especially good with a splash of whipped cream or vanilla vodka.

    The only thing I don’t like; it’s seasonal and the bottle goes too quick!! :)

  10. Micki Smith on October 26, 2011 at 12:46 pm

    Where to find this to purchase in the Laurel, MD, Columbia, MD, Annapolis, MD area.

  11. Kelly on October 29, 2011 at 5:14 am

    YUM! This is so good in coffee. I am going to incorporate it into homemade whipping cream that I will be putting on my pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Slowly beat in small amounts and sprinkle with nutmeg. OMG…so delicious.

  12. Joan Miller on October 29, 2011 at 7:45 pm

    Where in the Scottsdale or Phoenix, AZ area can I find it? My sister in Florida keeps raving about it.

  13. George on November 3, 2011 at 9:25 am

    Where in Florida is your sister? I can’t find it anywhere

  14. [email protected] on November 6, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    I found it at Fry’s-32nd Street and Bell

  15. Twinks on November 8, 2011 at 5:28 pm

    Can be ordered online at http://www.budgetbottle.com I placed an order this Sunday and it was delivered to me today, Tuesday!

  16. Janice Robison on November 17, 2011 at 8:11 am

    This sounds so yummy! Is this made with any kind of malt? Is it gluten free?

  17. Jeff on November 22, 2011 at 2:49 pm

    Why can’t you buy this in Utah? Will it be available in Utah or are we just a lame State!

  18. Louise on November 22, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    I got the last bottle of the Pumpkin Pie cream liquer at a Safeway in Hayward, CA. Where else can I find it and is it still available this season? My zip is 94546

  19. Jose M on December 1, 2011 at 7:40 pm

    This was FANTASTIC. I made pumpkin white russians out of it. Replace this with the kahlua. They were AMAZING.

  20. annette on December 3, 2011 at 7:57 pm

    Costco carries this fabulous drink!

  21. Anonymous on December 7, 2011 at 10:14 pm

    Yes, Costco in San Diego carries it for $7.99! SOOOOO yummy!

  22. Jimmyz on January 8, 2012 at 12:49 pm

    I live in south suburbs of Chicago, anyone know where i can get it?

  23. Karen on January 22, 2012 at 3:31 pm

    I think this should be available all year all. I have been trying to find it in Florida and no one has it. I called Colorado wine shop in Dever, and they have it but can not ship it to me, because of state/federal reg for Fl.
    I got to taste it at the friend’s house last week and I was hooked, but can’t find it anywhere. Can it be ordered from the warehouse to a local ABC or wine shop etc.even if it is seasonal?

  24. beaverfever on January 24, 2012 at 2:58 am

    We still have a ton in our local liquor store here in corvallis oregon. I picked a bottle up for my girlfriend as an early christmas present and she loved it when poured on top of ice cream!

  25. rayray on May 23, 2012 at 7:01 pm

    its May and BevMo still carry’s it in San Diego. just discovered it and so glad i did, i love everything pumpkin. so many drink combos you can make with this

  26. Cindy on October 5, 2012 at 4:34 pm

    Why is this only around for a short time? It is soooooooo not fair. I want it all the time.

  27. Christopher Null on October 5, 2012 at 10:21 pm

    Cindy – fortunately, the time is here!

  28. Kirsten on October 7, 2012 at 7:17 pm

    It can be found at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Florida seasonally for $9.99 no specially ordering needed. But it sells fast as it hits the shelf.

  29. SIS on October 13, 2012 at 1:43 pm

    Couldnt even wait to get home….put some in our Starbucks! Delish!

  30. Scott on October 28, 2012 at 7:51 pm

    Does it expire? I have a bottle from last year that has been refrigerated since.
    Thanks.

  31. Christopher Null on October 28, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    Scott – is it open? All dairy products expire eventually, alcohol or not, but especially if they’re open.

  32. Scott on October 31, 2012 at 6:34 pm

    Yes it’s open. To your point its dairy. That’s good enough for me. Thanks for the reply.

  33. barb on November 13, 2012 at 2:17 pm

    Found the Fulton’s Pumpkin Pie in Publix Liquor Store, Destin, FL. Yummy, it sure beats eating pumpkin pie!

  34. Elaine Tellier on November 16, 2012 at 5:15 pm

  35. Anonymous on November 17, 2012 at 9:24 am

    Anonymous – I confirmed with Heaven Hill today that, yes, Fulton’s is gluten-free.

  41. [email protected] on December 9, 2012 at 1:50 pm

    My daughter sent me a bottle from Ct.. Delicious. I live in Puerto Rico. Where can I find this?

  42. Kristy Crosslin on October 31, 2013 at 10:25 pm

    Love this mixed with coffee. It is scrumptious. Cold on the rocks is good as well. All around this is wonderful.

  43. Melissa on November 8, 2013 at 11:12 am

    In FL you can find it at the WinDixie Liquor Stores. We haven’t been able to find in any other store but WinDixie

  44. Caren O on September 14, 2014 at 4:45 pm

    I found it at BJ’s and I’m in Massachusetts.$7.99/bottle

  45. heidi on October 11, 2014 at 12:12 pm

    Does this have an expiration date?

  46. shelley on October 31, 2014 at 7:14 am

    What is the shelf life of an unopened bottle? Not refrigerated?

    • Christopher Null on October 31, 2014 at 8:10 am

      I believe these carry expiration dates. Check your bottle closely… I could be wrong.

  49. Charlie on May 23, 2015 at 8:57 am

  56. LuLu on November 22, 2016 at 2:21 pm

  57. Linda Rip on November 22, 2016 at 3:31 pm

    is there milk in this?

    • Christopher Null on November 22, 2016 at 5:11 pm

      There’s dairy cream in all cream liqueurs.



  58. Alanna Digiacomo on December 19, 2018 at 10:41 am

    I have a bottle of fultons harvest that has a expiration date of 2017. It have never been opened and has been refrigerated. Is it ok to drink still?

  59. DAVID on March 22, 2019 at 11:18 am

    I drank some of the apple pie liquor from them and it was 4 months old. It tasted awful and I dumped it out. I’m pretty sure the dairy (milk) had gone bad and made me feel like hell the next day. It doesn’t have an expiration date so be careful.

  60. Anonymous on June 8, 2020 at 1:58 pm

    How do you read the date code.

  61. Parker on March 7, 2021 at 12:40 pm

    I have an unopened bottle of Fultons harvest pumpkin pie cream Liqueur. It was never refrigerated. it has been in the cupboard. Again it is unopened. I am guessing that I’ve had it for at least two years. Any idea how long it is good for or how to tell if it’s still good
