Galliano Vanilla Liqueur 500ml

Nose: Intense vanilla bean and anise greet you first, followed by hints of lavender and Mediterranean herbs.

Palate: Sweet vanilla dominates but never overwhelms, with layers of star anise, juniper, and citrus peel adding depth and preventing cloying sweetness. The texture is smooth and syrupy without being heavy.

Finish: Long and warming, with vanilla lingering alongside gentle herbal bitters.

This liqueur shines in a Harvey Wallbanger, the classic cocktail it made famous, combining vodka, orange juice and a Galliano float. It adds golden sweetness and complexity to an Espresso Martini, replacing or complementing coffee liqueur. Try it in a Vanilla Old Fashioned, where it brings aromatic depth to bourbon or rye.

Serve neat as a digestif, pour over vanilla ice cream, or add a shot to hot coffee for an aromatic lift. Home bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate its versatility across both vintage and modern drink recipes. A distinctive gift for anyone who loves experimenting behind the bar or exploring liqueurs beyond the usual suspects.
