The son of a vinegar maker spent years bringing 56 herbs, roots and spices together in a single bottle. The result was named after the patron saint of hunters and has carried the stag's cross out into the world ever since.
Expert's description
Jagermeister is a German herbal liqueur at 35% ABV, bottled at 70 cl.
Behind the recipe stands Curt Mast, who in 1934 in Wolfenbuttel took over the family's vinegar and wine business from his father Wilhelm Mast. Curt Mast spent several years refining a blend of 56 different herbs, roots, spices, flowers and fruits before the recipe was finished, a recipe that, according to the official brand, has not changed since. The name Jagermeister means "master hunter", and the stag logo with its glowing cross between the antlers references the legend of Saint Hubertus, the patron saint of hunting. It is the very same recipe that is drunk ice-cold around the world today.
