Jägermeister Halloween Edition

A limited Halloween bottling of Jagermeister, the German herbal liqueur made by Mast-Jagermeister in Wolfenbuttel, Lower Saxony, from a secret recipe of 56 carefully selected herbs, roots, flowers and fruits unchanged since 1934. The recipe here is the classic, with only the bottle design changed, so the liquid is the familiar bittersweet herbal blend the trade already knows. At 35% it carries the strength to read both as a chilled shot and as a cocktail base.

The nose is complex herbal with cinnamon, clove, ginger and a hint of citrus freshness, the palate full bodied and harmonious with pronounced herbal aroma, sweet and spicy nuances and a pleasantly bitter finish, closing long and intense on a balance of bitterness and herb. In a drink it adds a bitter herbal backbone, baking spice and aromatic depth, so it anchors a Jager and ginger, a Jager Mule or a chilled herbal shot, and lifts seasonal Halloween drinks. Best served ice cold from the freezer. Keep a bottle chilled for fast shot service.
