Jägermeister Liqueur (75cl, 35%)

Jägermeister is a German herbal liqueur made from 56 botanicals and bottled at 35% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Created in 1934 by Curt Mast, the recipe has remained unchanged. Production begins with 56 herbs, roots, fruits, spices and seeds macerated in water and alcohol for two to three days; the liquid is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about one year before a second filtration, then blended with sugar, caramel and alcohol. The nose has licorice, sarsaparilla root, cinnamon, clove, orange peel and menthol. The palate is bittersweet, with anise, fennel, gingerbread, nutmeg, cardamom, candied orange rind, burnt sugar and cola-like richness, balanced by gentian bitterness. The finish is medium-long, with menthol, allspice, pepper, clove and molasses.
