The history of Becherovka:

Becherovka is an iconic Czech herbal liqueur and one of the oldest alcohol brands in the history of the Czech Republic, with continuous production since 1807. This world-famous liqueur is produced in Karlovy Vary, where a secret recipe known only to two people is still followed, adding to its mystique and character.

Josef Vitus Becher, founder of Becherovka, acquired the original recipe from Dr. Frobrig in 1805 and refined it to perfection. The recipe contains a blend of approximately twenty herbs and spices, sourced from both exotic destinations and the Karlovy Vary region.

Johann Nepomuk Becher, known as Honza, took over the colonial trade and liqueur production from his father Josef. Johann is considered the founder of the company in the true sense of the word, as he developed production for almost 40 years. His signature is still on every bottle of Becherovka today.

In 1866, Honza Becher's brother-in-law, Karel Laube, came up with a revolutionary design for a flat bottle, which has been made from the typical green glass since 1907. In 1867, production was moved to a new factory in Steinberky, which provided a direct train connection to the rest of the world. Today, the visitor center The Home of Becherovka stands on this site.

In 1871, Gustav Becher took over the family business, successfully promoting and legally protecting the liqueur. A native of Karlovy Vary, Gustav linked Becherovka with the traditional Karlovy Vary craft of porcelain and introduced the iconic porcelain cups for the liqueur.
