This sambuca relies on an ingredient from China, Star Anise. Infused for four days, it is then distilled and blended with an extract of Mediterranean Anise. It is this pure and clear combination that gives Sambuca Galliano its distinct soft and round palate. Enjoy neat, over ice or with iced water as a refreshing long drink.
The Producer
The Galliano brand is currently owned by Dutch distiller Lucas Bols, and marketed through its worldwide distribution joint venture, Maxxium. Galliano is packaged in a distinctively shaped bottle, reminiscent of a classical Roman column.
Several other liqueurs are also produced under the Galliano brand name, including a black Sambuca, a white Sambuca and an amaretto, which are predominantly distributed in Australasia, where the products are popular as shots. Galliano also makes Galliano Ristretto coffee-flavored liqueur and Galliano Balsamico, a balsamic vinegar-infused liqueur.
