LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

More than a disco relic. The 'Autentico' bottling proves that beneath the kitsch lies a serious, complex liqueur that deserves respect.

The Library Note

Named after Giuseppe Galliano, an Italian war hero. The tall, tapered bottle is inspired by Roman columns. While famous for the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail, the liquid itself is a serious herbal spirit, colored yellow (tartrazine) to represent the California Gold Rush, a major market for Italian immigrants.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Sweet vanilla, anise, and fresh herbs.

THE PALATE

Complex and spicy. A blast of peppermint and anise mellows into a rich, creamy vanilla.

THE FINISH

Long, herbal, and warming.
