Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

According to official sources the recipe involves numerous infusions of herbs and spices and stages of distillation; the brand's site describes the use of small dedicated copper stills and artisanal processing at the Maraschi & Quirici facilities, while historical sources report the practice of multiple infusions and distillations (final blending and mixing of extracts with aromatic distillates and vanilla).

Distillation

Distillation in copper pot stills with multiple extractions/infusions of the botanical elements; the process involves combining the aromatic extracts with the distillates and the vanilla extract.

Producer history Galliano

The Galliano liqueur was first created in 1896 by Arturo Vaccari; the name recalls Captain Giuseppe Galliano. Over time the brand passed through various international owners: acquired by Rémy Cointreau in 1989 and later entering the portfolio of Lucas Bols (today responsible for the brand). The brand's official site also notes the historical link with the production and extracts made by Fratelli Maraschi (today Maraschi & Quirici) in Piedmont.

Production philosophy

Galliano focuses on a recognisable, theatrical identity that combines Italian tradition with bold flavours: a recipe centered on complex botanical extracts and a distinctive bottle presentation, designed for both the cocktail world and neat or on‑the‑rocks consumption.

Territory

Historical origin: Italy (first production in Livorno, Tuscany); processing/extracts historically linked to Chieri (Piedmont). The brand is today managed internationally by Lucas Bols (company based in the Netherlands).
