The true story of the creation of Jägermeister liqueur

In 1878, Wilhelm Mast opened a winery in the Saxon town of Wolfenbüttel. Later, the family business was continued by his son, Kurt.

It was Kurt Mast who created the recipe for this liqueur in 1934. Inspired by the story of Jägermeister, he decided to name the liquor after him. Legendary stories from German folklore adorned the label of this liquor.

Particular attention was paid to the bottle: it not only protected the drink from sunlight, but also from falls. For this, Kurt dropped the bottles one by one on the floor until he found the perfect shape.

The liquor gained wide popularity after 1973 - it was then that the manufacturers launched a large-scale advertising campaign. The bet was made on rock musicians. At one time, Jägermeister was glorified by such bands as Metallica, Slayer, Nightwish and many others.

Selected raw materials are used for production: herbs, roots, flowers and fruits are carefully selected. Then all the ingredients are ground into powder.

Jägermeister contains 56 components. Each of them has a certain proportion. Therefore, during production, all ingredients are weighed on accurate electronic scales. The proportions themselves are kept secret.

A mixture of 56 components is poured with alcohol and water. The maceration process (infusion) takes 2 weeks. After filtering, the liqueur matures in oak barrels for 1 year. Then the drink is sweetened with honey, filtered again, and only then bottled.

Thus, the Jägermeister manufacturing process takes just over a year. Before leaving the factory, the liquor goes through 383 checks according to various quality criteria.

At one of the exhibitions in Germany, the manufacturer demonstrated some of the ingredients used to make Jägermeister.

"Ice Shot"

According to its composition, Jägermeister liqueur is one of the aperitifs. It has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, so it is drunk before or after meals. Because of its bitter taste, it is customary to serve it chilled, and drink it in one gulp.

What is customary to eat

An appetizer is not required, but goes well with cold dishes. In bars and nightclubs, lemon is often served with it, as with tequila. For ladies, a more refined option is prepared - slices of juicy orange sprinkled with cinnamon.

How to drink Jägermeister in German

In the homeland of this drink, there is a classic way to drink liquor - Ice-shot or "Ice Shot". The drink is cooled strictly to a temperature of -18°C and served in a shot glass. Jägermeister becomes thicker and more viscous, instead of bitterness, the liquor becomes, on the contrary, sweet and burning. The shot is also drunk in one sip.

The drink belongs to noble alcohol. Therefore, it is believed that it is right to drink it only in its pure form. Despite this, many delicious cocktails are prepared with Jägermeister liqueur.

About the properties of liquor: do we drink or are we treated?

Many classify Jagermeisters as beaters because they have a bitter taste. At the same time, many people think that herbal bitters must have healing properties.

At the same time, an image of a medicinal mixture was created around it: this is evidenced by the legend of origin, the shape of the bottles, and the cross itself resembles a symbol of an ambulance.

There are many legends around this secret, one of which says that deer blood is added to the liquor. In fact, this is not the case, however, manufacturers are silent on this matter and are in no hurry to dispel prejudices.

The history of the creation of an alcoholic beverage begins in the 19th century. For the first time, they began to produce it at the factory of Wilhelm Mast, whose main activity was the production of vinegar. The owner's son participated in the creation of the Jägermeister recipe, he had a unique talent for mixing various herbs and creating unique tastes. includes herbs, including saffron, ginseng, poppy, juniper, licorice and others. This is only part of the recipe, as the full composition is kept in the strictest confidence.

During this time, many checks are carried out for compliance with the quality standard. The result is a bittersweet drink with a bright herbal flavor. It clearly resembles a medicinal mixture and actually promotes active digestion. In this regard, it is used as an aperitif. It is difficult to convey in words the range of taste of this liquor, but it is worth noting that there is not a single gram of chemistry in the composition, the whole taste is based solely on natural ingredients.

The signature bottle of Jägermeister is adorned with a deer head with a cross. The creators were inspired by the legend of those times, about a count-hunter who once saw a deer, between the horns of which a cross shone. After that, the count took the veil as a monk. The deer from this fairy tale became the symbol of the hunting drink Jägermeister.

Despite this, it is often drunk after dinner. It will be useful to drink a glass of liquor before going to bed if you are haunted by the feeling of an upcoming cold.
