Galliano Espresso is not like any coffee liqueur, but is a unique espresso liqueur with a more concentrated palate. The espresso liqueur contains two varieties of dark roasted coffee beans: 55% Arabica coffee beans from Colombia and Brazil and 45% Robusta coffee beans from India and Kenya. The Arabica coffee beans give a chocolaty creamy and delicate top note, while the Robusta contributes body and bitter coffee flavored tones. Therefore, the espresso liqueur is perfect for the deepest and most intense coffee liqueur cocktails with a balanced aroma.
Taste
The full-flavored palate of Galliano Espresso liqueur is very close to that of a strong caffè corretto with dark chocolate covered and heavily roasted coffee beans. The oily espresso finish has an almost pepperminty freshness.
