Description


**Becherovka** is a traditional herbal liqueur from the Czech Republic, originally created in the early 19th century. It is known for its distinctive taste, which combines a blend of herbs and spices, and has become a popular digestif in Europe and beyond.

 Key Characteristics

- **Appearance:** Clear, golden-yellow color.
- **Aroma:** Complex and aromatic, with hints of cinnamon, cloves, anise, and a blend of various herbs.
- **Taste:** Balanced and bittersweet, featuring flavors of cinnamon, ginger, and a proprietary mix of over 20 different herbs and spices. The taste is warming and slightly spicy, making it a unique experience.
- **Finish:** Long and smooth, with a lingering herbal and slightly bitter aftertaste.

### Production Process:

1. **Herbal Blend:** The exact recipe of Becherovka is a closely guarded secret, but it is known to contain over 20 different herbs and spices.
2. **Maceration:** The herbs and spices are macerated in alcohol, allowing their flavors to infuse.
3. **Aging:** The mixture is then blended with water and sugar and aged in oak barrels for several months to develop its distinctive taste and smoothness.
4. **Bottling:** After aging, the liqueur is filtered and bottled, ready for consumption.

### Serving Recommendations:

- **Serving Temperature:** Best served chilled, typically at a temperature of around 5-7°C (41-45°F).
- **Glassware:** Often served in small shot glasses as a digestif after meals.
- **Cocktails:** Can also be used in various cocktails, such as the classic "Beton" (Becherovka and tonic water with a slice of lemon).

### 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.

### Buying and Storage:

- **Availability:** Becherovka is widely available in liquor stores and online.
- **Storage:** Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it is best consumed within a reasonable period to maintain its flavor, though it does not spoil quickly.

Becherovka is celebrated for its unique blend of herbs and spices, making it a distinctive and enjoyable drink whether served on its own or in cocktails. It is a must-try for those interested in traditional European liqueurs.
