The history of Jägermeister begins in 1934 Wolfenbüttel, Germany, when Curt Mast combined a robust selection of roots, herbs, spices and fruit into one intense liqueur. Just like his father, Wilhelm Mast, Curt was a keen hunter, and as such named his creation in honour of hunters - the name literally translates to Hunting Master. It’s made using 56 herbs, spices, roots and fruit, many of which are secret. Over the years, Jägermeister has become very popular in the bar world, paired with energy drinks and the like, though it is also often enjoyed neat and chilled.
