Jägermeister 'Scharf,' which translates to "hot" or "spicy" in German, is a new expression of the herbal liqueur that is said to boast more intense ginger flavors. As ever, the Jägermeister expression is made with the same 56 botanicals but it has added ginger and galangal for an extra kick. This new take on Jägermeister’s distinctive character gives fans a new way to appreciate the classic ingredients that go into the making of the product, while enjoying a refreshing new experience of what the brand describes as Jägermeister Scharf's "hot headnote."
This new release from Jägermeister is available in select European markets and is set to launch in Latin America by the end of the year.
