Galliano L’Autentico Liqueur 42.3% 50cl Bottle

Galliano L’Autentico Liqueur was created in 1896 in Livorno, Tuscany by Arturo Vaccari who discovered the Maraschi Brothers in Torino making the finest extracts of plants, herbs and spices. It is named after Giuseppe Galliano who was an Italian hero of the First Italo-Ethiopian War. As with most liqueurs the exact recipe used to make it is a trade secret, but it is a blend of some 30 herbs, plants, barks, roots, seeds and spices from around the Mediterranean. These include Mediterranean Anise, Musk Yarrow, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Juniper, Star Anise, Lavender and Vanilla. To make Galliano the pressings of the various plants (except the vanilla) are infused in alcohol which is then distilled, the vanilla is blended in, as is distilled water, sugar for sweetening and pure neutral alcohol to adjust the final bottling strength to 42.3% abv.
