The story
The original recipe was received by Josef Vitus Becher around 1805 and refined until its commercial launch in 1807; since then production has been tied to the spa town of Karlovy Vary. The recipe, handed down through generations, combines a secret mixture of about 20 herbs and spices with local water, quality alcohol and sugar. In December 2023 Pernod Ricard announced the sale of the brand and related assets to the Maspex group; official sources report the agreement and related communications.
