This is very common among the Balkan slavs, and the ones that I have known prefer this over cognac. The few samples that I have partaken were quite good. Your French friend would undoubtedly have been familiar with this drink as I believe that it is common in Europe.

Where can we get this liquor from?

Not sure, lenguamor seems to know a lot about the drink. I kind of fell into it.

Never tried that, but seems like a nice drink.
