Galliano is a sweet herbal liqueur created in 1896 by Italian distiller and brandy producer Arturo Vaccari of Livorno, Tuscany. The star element in Galliano is vanilla, which differentiates it from other anise-flavored liqueurs such as Sambuca, Pernod, or Anisette, but the extensive list of ingredients also includes Chinese star anise, Mediterranean anise, juniper, musk yarrow, ginger, lavender, cinnamon, and peppermint.
