It was invented by Bosse Bergström who entered a coffee drink competition in Stockholm in 1987. The fun part is that the Galliano Hot Shot is an Swedish invention. The anise is not as prominent as in other anise liqueurs so it matches the coffee great. The flavor of Galliano is vanilla and anise but that also comes with some herbal and citrus notes.
