    heres it in anglian vulgar:

    Becherovka is a herbal bitter liqueur flavored with anise seeds and cinnamon from the Czech Republic, first sold in 1807. It is normally drunk cold, and is often used as an aid to digestion.

    The beginnings of Jan Becher — Karlovarská Becherovka, a.s. reach back almost two hundred years to the first decade of the nineteenth century. In 1807, Josef Becher, a pharmacist from Karlovy Vary, started selling bitters made to his own recipe. In 1841, Josef Becher passed on his budding business to his son and heir Johann. Johann started large-scale production, and accordingly his name has been associated with Becherovka to the present day.

    Over the next hundred years (until 1945) the management of the company was passed down through the Becher family. After World War II the company was nationalised, and control was transferred to a board of management appointed by the state.

                      I know how to make the letters really big, but mods will not like it and it will likely get the thread killed

                                HA! This was invented in England in 1720s and was called 'Geneva', 'Aqua Mirabilis' and some other names...eventually it evolved into straight Gin.

                                If the base material is malted wheat distilled twice, this is what the English called "Geneva".
