Created in 1896 in Livorno by an Italian named Arturo Vaccari, Galliano is the iconic brand from Italy, known to so many in the trade as well as amongst consumers worldwide. It is an artisanal and sophisticated liqueur, delicious as a stand-alone drink or as a perfect cocktail enhancing ingredient. The extreme production process blends six different distillations, amongst them the distillate of the 30 herbs and spices, a vanilla distillate, a juniper berry distillate and the green anise distillate into a complex and delicious liquid. Housed in a distinctive tall and slender bottle, Galliano L’Autentico is based on the original 1896 recipe highlighting its Italian roots.
