Carlsbad Becherovka - a traditional and unique Czech liqueur was created in 1805 in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) in the present Czech Republic. In 1807 production proceeded and by the mid 1850's could be found as far afield as Munich, Vienna, and Paris to name but a few. Packaging introduced in 1841 by the son of Jan Becher proved so successful and distinctive that the dark green rectangular bottle has remained ever since. During the 1930's distribution of Becherovka extended to Italy, Spain, and Egypt then the US markets and finally, in 1938, to England. Absinthe and Becherovka produce a wide range of amazing cocktails, for some serving suggestion visit our cocktail list.

This might help. It's the only likely reference I could find.

Hi, I have found a similar bottle, it has a 'rough type' of surface, dark green glass, ~1L (vol). It has the same markings: "CARLSBAD L.S." on the base and the real kicker is, the cork's still in it and it's still full. I found it about thirty years ago in the cellar of a previously flooded hotel/pub, embedded in the mud/silt, that had been deposited during the flood. The cellar flooded (I was told) around WWI. I will endeavor to up(load) a picture if this is the sort of thing anyone is interested in.Cheers all. Scott.

Howdy Scott,

Welcome, to A-BN, hands across the bottle, and all that. Please do show us some photos. So when're you gonna uncork'er?

When last this thread saw daylight, I don't believe there was much in the way-o wikipedia, so let's set the stage:

"Karlovy Vary (Czech pronunciation: [ËˆkarlovÉª ËˆvarÉª] ( listen); German: Karlsbad), also known in English as Carlsbad, is a spa city situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers OhÅ™e and TeplÃ¡, approximately 130 km (80.78 miles) west of Prague. It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water TeplÃ¡ River).
In the 19th century, it became a popular tourist destination, especially for international celebrities visiting for spa treatment. The city is also known for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and the popular Czech liqueur KarlovarskÃ¡ Becherovka. The glass manufacturer Moser Glass is located in Carlsbad. The city has also given its name to the famous delicacy known as "Carlsbad plums". These plums (usually Quetsch) are candied in hot syrup, then halved and stuffed into dried damsons; this gives them a very intense flavour.
The city has been used as the location for a number of film-shoots, including the 2006 films Last Holiday and box-office hit Casino Royale, both of which used the city's Grandhotel Pupp in different guises." From wiki-karlovy.

It's picturesque as all get out, and man, those plums sound good!

In case you wanna get a companion piece, there's one ova heah.

Interesting info.
I had always "assumed" that the LS meant Lithia Springs.
A nice looking bottle but I always leave them when I dig them now.

It not that uncommon, even I've seen a lot. It's right along the lines of Hunyadi Janos.
