Only one spirit company in Poland can legally produce rosolio liquers - according to 18th century old formulas which once made Polish rosoglios famous in all Europe.

Rosolio is a type of Italian liqueur derived from rose petals, and which is often used as the basis for the preparation of other liquors of various flavors. The liqueur is prepared from alcohol, sugar, and water in the same proportion, to which is then added a rose essence.
The liqueur is common in Piedmont and in Southern Italy. It enjoys a special popularity in Sicily, where it has been prepared since the sixteenth century and was given to house guests as a sign of good luck.

Rosolis Kawowy [Coffee Rosoglio]
Alc. 40% by Vol.
An exquisite coffee liqueur. It was a sign of hospitality in the homes of European aristocrats for more than a century. As part of the Lancut Distillery's consistent strategy, this old formula of Count Alfred Potocki has been recreated. What makes this much more than a liqueur with a coffee taste is the addition of aromatic ingredients such as cacao and aged wine distillate. more

Rosolis Rozany [Rose Rosoglio]
Alc. 39% by Vol.
A true secret from the past, which graced the best aristocratic tables in the nineteenth century. Made strictly according to Count Alfred Potocki's secret formula. The finest natural ingredients married to crystal-clear water and neutral grain spirits, triple-filtered for perfect taste and colour, which, like the aroma, owe much to Bulgarian rose oil. The label is designed after the original ones, emphasising this beverage's noble roots.more

Rosolis Ziolowy Gorzki [Herb Rosoglio Bitter]
Alc. 35% by Vol.
At long last, the Lancut Distillery is privileged to offer this nineteenth-century masterpiece of the distiller's art, one of the noblest of them all, with the essences of about twenty species of herbs hand-picked in the heart of Poland, and spices imported from the East. more

Solved!
I was gifted this by an in-law from Poland, who doesn’t speak any English. Can anyone tell me more about it? Thanks!!
from xenna.com.pl/rosolis/ : The name of these liqueurs comes from the Latin ros solis, meaning the sun dew. They were started in the 14th century, initially in Italy. In Poland they have been produced since the nineteenth century, in Łańcut - now by Polmos. We have three types of rosolis: the best known for rose oil (39% power), coffee (40%) and bitter herbs (35%) made from over 20 kinds of herbs. Rosolides are sweet (even if it is called bitter), suitable for desserts, for coffee. In my opinion the best is rose. Domestic sausages such as safflower sausages are made. Rose oil is the secret of rosolis (in Italian rosoglio). Currently not produced outside Poland. In English literature, they are often mistakenly called cordials.
Yours (ziołowy gorzki) is the bitter-herbs one.
Also, karolinapatryk.com/castle-lancut/ is kind of interesting.

Right? I'm jealous of OP; I love bitters. Now I know this exists, I'm gonna track down a bottle.

Herbal bitters/liqueur is a good description but it's more commonly known as stomach bitters. It says it's an old country mountain style liquor steeped in herbs, flowers (usually roses), roots, and fruits. It goes on to say that they are the only producers of it and have been making it and other liquor for over 200 years.
These are the modern-day descendants of medieval medical potions from the times of alchemy and cure-alls. They're marketed as having vaguely therapeutic value as stomach settlers, hangover cures, and the like. These are usually flavored with herbs, roots, botanicals, and containing lower quantities of fruit and sugar than liqueurs.
This is the kind of stuff members of my family take a shot or two of when they're ill or under the weather.

I’m ready to take a shot or two of it while doing chemistry homework.

Hahaha I don't blame you, though I would personally use it sparingly. I think it'll be very tough to bump into more of this particular one in the states.

I agree. I don't really drink ever, but it's cool to have!
