Galliano Vanilla Liqueur / 30% / 0.7l

Galliano liqueur debuted in 1896. It was created by Arturo Vaccari, a brandy producer and distillery owner in Livorno, Tuscany. The original formula, developed with the Maraschi brothers, pioneers of infusion and maceration, listed over 30 botanical ingredients. The brand's patron is Giuseppe Galliano, hero of the First Italo-Abyssinian War (1894-1896). For 44 days, Galliano, along with a 2,000-strong unit, defended the Enda Yesus monastery against an 80,000-strong Abyssinian army. For his bravery, he was awarded the Silver Medal of Merit and promoted to lieutenant colonel. Even before prohibition, Galliano liqueur gained huge popularity in the United States, and in the 1970s led sales statistics in its category. In 1989, the rights to the brand were acquired by the French concern Rémy Cointreau, and in 2006 it went to the portfolio of the Dutch company Lucas Bols. The Galliano l'Autentico formula lists over 30 ingredients, herbs, flowers, roots, bark, seeds and spices, of which the company reveals only a few: Mediterranean and star anise, juniper, lavender, cinnamon, common yarrow and peppermint.

Galliano Vanilla Liqueur debuted in the 1990s. It is a modified version of l'Autentico, enriched with a delicate vanilla distillate, bottled at 30% alcohol.
