### History and Heritage:

Becherovka was first created in 1807 by Josef Becher, a pharmacist from the town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad). Originally marketed as a medicinal tonic, it gradually became known as a herbal liqueur enjoyed for its unique flavor. The Becher family continued to produce the liqueur, and it eventually became one of the most famous Czech spirits. Today, it is produced by the Jan Becher company and remains a symbol of Czech heritage.
