It has a very acquired taste: liquorice, anis (main Ouzo ingredient), and some other herbs I'm not sure of. It's sweet, but just the right amount. I like it, but there's many people who dislike the taste. If you have the chance, try it :)

I'm pretty sure it's just about impossible to get your hands on it here (unless you live in turkiye or syria, those are close to europe so should be easier?) but that sounds good honestly. If i ever go to europe i'll 100% try it. Fat chance, but if i ever do. Thanks for describing the taste btw

As far as I know you can only get it in Slovakia and Czech Republic (maaaybe Poland, but not so sure about that one) Source: am from Slovakia, but living in Nordic country now. Edit: I should look for more polish shops..thanks for informing me that Kofola does indeed made it outside EU..I'm proud โ€ขฬโ ย โ ย โ โ€ฟโ ย โ ,โ โ€ขฬ€

Polish grocery stores generally have it in the UK.

Too bad it's not widely available in Polish grocery stores in Poland.

I just brought some from Slovakia, but I would need a resupply, someday.
