Galliano Vanilla

Italy’s Legendary Vanilla Liqueur with Timeless Character.
Elegant, unmistakable, and instantly recognisable by its iconic tall bottle, Galliano L'Autentico has been a fixture behind the world's finest bars for well over a century. Created in Italy in 1896, this celebrated liqueur is famous for its luxurious vanilla character, balanced by a remarkable blend of Mediterranean herbs, spices, citrus, and botanicals. Rich in history and flavour, it's a spirit that has stood the test of time while remaining an essential ingredient in countless classic cocktails.

Despite often being known simply as "Galliano Vanilla", the original Galliano is far more than a vanilla liqueur. Its signature flavour comes from an intricate recipe of more than 30 herbs, spices, roots, and plant extracts, with Madagascan vanilla taking centre stage alongside star anise, juniper, lavender, cinnamon, peppermint, and subtle citrus notes. The result is a beautifully layered liqueur that's sweet without becoming cloying, aromatic without overwhelming the palate, and wonderfully complex from beginning to end.

Galliano's distinctive golden colour and unmistakable aroma have made it a favourite among bartenders for generations. It shines in famous cocktails such as the Harvey Wallbanger, adds depth to coffee creations and dessert cocktails, and is equally enjoyable served over ice as an after-dinner treat. Every sip reflects the elegance and creativity of Italian liqueur making.

For liqueur enthusiasts in Ireland, Galliano L'Autentico is an essential bottle that combines heritage, versatility, and exceptional flavour. Whether you're recreating timeless cocktails or exploring new serves, it brings over 125 years of Italian craftsmanship to every glass.

Why we love it:
We love Galliano because it's unlike anything else on the shelf. The rich Madagascan vanilla is beautifully supported by layers of herbs, spices, and citrus, creating a flavour that's instantly recognisable and remarkably versatile. It's one of those classic bottles that every well-stocked home bar deserves, equally at home in iconic cocktails or enjoyed simply over ice.
