Strong aniseed-flavoured spirit distilled in Turkey and Yugoslavia (4)

I believe the answer is:

raki

(Other definitions for raki that I've seen before include "Greek liquor" , "Middle Eastern spirit" , "Turkish spirit distilled from grain" , "Levantine spirit" , "Anis-flavoured national Turkish aperitif" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
