While we're talking about Eastern European herbal liquors... Have you tried the Czech Becherovka? The cinnamon flavor is a little too overpowering, for me, but I'm still a fan. I can't tell you how many "betony" I drank while I was in Prague!
Also, the Serbian/Croatian Pelinkovac, which I like better than Becherovka. Wikipedia's claim that it tastes like Jägermeister is only true in the sense that they're both herbal liquors. I have trouble finding that one, though. Even in Macedonia I couldn't find it in any stores, only some bars. This one I like to drink neat.
