Galliano L'Autentico Liqueur 50cl

Description

Galliano L'Autentico Liqueur

First created in 1896 by Arturo Vaccari - it was named after Giuseppe Galliano a famous Italian officer in the Royal Italian Army.

Arturo wanted to capture the spirit of Italy, and worked to create a blend of both Mediterranean and exotic botanicals. Whilst the final recipe is a closely guarded secret (and contains over 30 herbs and spices), it is known to include juniper berries, caraway seed, cloves, cardamon, sandalwood, star anise, cinnamon, sage, thyme, mint, lavender and Madagascan vanilla.

The botanicals are used to create a number of different macerations and distillations - these create nine different components. These are then blended, to create the final Galliano Authentico

The resulting liqueur is sweet with both vanilla and anise flavours. However, it differs from other anise liqueurs (such as Ouzo or Sambuca in that the vanilla is the top note, and linger to the end of the drink.

In taste the anise and peppermint are initially prominent on the palate, which develops into an explosion of fresh herbs. This is followed by a warmth from cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg before a refreshing citrus taste comes through. The Vanilla builds in the drinking, coming through towards the mid-palate and remains to the end along with a touch of spice and refreshing peppermint.

Perfect Serve

Galliano is a sweet, smooth drink and is commonly enoyed as its own as a digestif after a meal. However it also works well in the mix.

Try a classic Harvey Wallbanger cocktail, or simply mix with some fresh orange juice for a longer, less alcoholic drink
