Galliano
Galliano is a historic Italian liqueur that has been enjoyed for over a century. This sweet, herbal liqueur is known for its distinctive flavor and vibrant yellow color. It is made from a secret recipe of over 30 herbs and spices, including anise, juniper, and vanilla, which are carefully infused to create a complex and aromatic blend. The recipe for Galliano was first created in 1896 by Italian distiller Arturo Vaccari, and the liqueur has since become a staple in bars and homes around the world.
