Fernet Stock is a herbal bitters made in Plzeň, Czech Republic. It is flavoured with approximately 14 herbs, imported from the Mediterranean and the Alps. It is also available in a sweeter form as Fernet Stock Citrus. The original Fernet is approximately 40% alcohol (Italian version 41%), whereas the Citrus is a lower 30%. In 1884, during the crisis caused by the Panic of 1873, Italian Lionello Stock founded the Camis & Stock company in Trieste. The Italian speaking city was at that time part of Austria-Hungary. The company's flagship product was cognac but the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918 made trade between the successor countries difficult as Trieste became part of Italy. Therefore Stock bought a distillery in Božkov near Plzeň in Czechoslovakia in 1920 and founded a subsidiary called Stock Cognac Medicinal. At first, spirits transported from Trieste were bottled there. Cognac or brandy were long the firm's flagship products.
