Tasting through my amaro cabinet and revisiting some classics. This is one that was hard to escape in the 80's. Harvey Wallbanger anyone? Always a flavoring agent, this isn't something to be drunk neat (at least not twice).
And yet here I am...
Ick. Sweet. Primarily the flavor is fennel and anise, sugary bad vanilla, and something that tastes like weak furniture polish.
This is truly disgusting.
That said, a splash in a highball can be an interesting flavoring element. But just a drop, because you really don't want to taste this by itself.
Everything has its place.
Galliano's place isn't in a glencairn.

Galliano always seemed to me like straight-up sweetened vanilla extract, with maybe a herbal note. Like you say, an ingredient not to be enjoyed (?) neat.
