The German liqueur was first produced in 1934. Jagermeister literally means, “Master Hunter” and was a term used to describe game wardens or foresters. For over half a century Jagermeister was drunk almost exclusively by older, blue collar Germans as a digestive aid after meals. Toward the end of the century it became popular as a party drink in the U.S. due to its relatively sweet taste and the promotion efforts of one American importer. The liqueur is made from 56 herbs, fruits, roots and spices and is intended to be served at zero degrees F on ice. Contrary to a rumor that has circulated on the internet, Jagermeister does not contain deer or elk blood. The poem on the label on the front of the bottle translates to: This is the hunter's badge of glory, That he protect and tend his quarry, Hunt with honour, as is due, And through the beast to God is true. Thanks Wikipedia! p.s., don’t believe everything you read on the internet, but this is good bullsh!t to tell ur hunting buddies
I drank many Jagger bombs back in my 20's. Don't think I could ever taste it again! Sent from my SM-G900V using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
When I lived in Munich you could buy Jager in little bottles by the register like five hour energy drinks here. It's a cure all, bad cough, upset stomach etc.. Most Germans prefer Underberg when it comes to a krauter liquor for a aperitif.
Mine was off a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 and a jug of Carlos Rossi red wine. That was a rough next day.

Funny to see someone casually buy a jager at a kiosk, down it like an energy drink then carry on with their day.
In college I used to keep a bottle of it in the toilet tank to keep it cold. And hidden from roommates' thieving hands. Somehow it's never made me puke. Maybe combined with tequila but never by itself. VS gets extra credit for using the word "barf". I haven't heard that term in probably over a decade.
Many, many, many bad mornings haunt my past because of that stuff. Still drink it when buddies offer it to me (not sure why). Tastes almost like black licorice to me and I hate black licorice.
you're missing out, brother. It is what it is but it's still one of my favorite shots. Not that I knock back too many shots these days; but if a round is offered it's usually what I order. (A shot of whiskey just makes my liver mad at me for being a tease.) I've never understood why people think that. Doesn't taste like that at all to me; and I hate black licorice as well.
1993.....Fall....Hated being alive. I stunk like Jagermeister for two weeks. My pores rotted and smelled like Asian Alligator Anus This was me.....
