I believe the tall, narrow (stately) shape of the bottle was chosen because it 
was named after an Italian war hero.  It stands out easily even when placed on 
a shelf next to other bottles.

Galliano is well recognised, in its very distinctive bottle, named after an 
Italian war hero of 1896, and is perhaps the most famous Italian herbal 
liqueur. A golden yellow, it has an up-front flavour of anise and vanilla. 

Galliano Liquore:
In a very distinctive bottle, named after an Italian war hero of 1896, this is 
a famous Italian herbal liqueur. A rather lurid yellow, it has an up-front 
flavour of anise and vanilla, both quite strong, with the other 40 herbs, 
berries, roots and flowers etc. blending into a muted background. Nice, and 
easy to drink. A classic cocktail ingerdient, too. 35% alcohol. Jocelyn: ``I 
find it too strong and not so well-balanced. At its peak in cocktails.''
