🥃 Jägermeister Manifest
Premium Jägermeister line, 38% ABV: the original recipe with a fifth maceration on a wheat distillate matured in small charred oak barrels.
Jägermeister Manifest is the premium line of the brand, which the producer calls the first super-premium herbal liqueur. Its strength is 38% ABV, higher than the classic Jägermeister (35%). The base is the same as the original, with 56 plants, but it has additional ingredients, a different alcohol base and a longer maturation in oak.
How it is made. According to the producer, a fifth maceration is added to the original recipe; it is extracted in a wheat distillate made from whole grain. This distillate matures for about 15 months in small charred oak barrels. According to the producer, there are more than twice as many plant ingredients as in the original. The brand's website describes production in four stages: distillate maturation, botanical maceration, blending and filtration.
Taste. The producer calls it dynamic, a taste experience that defies expectations. The brand highlights prominent notes of vanilla, cardamom and saffron against the aged wheat distillate. The aroma has herbs, anise and fruit with a wood note; on the palate there is first sweet anise and dried fruit, then light spice and bitterness, and the aftertaste brings oak and a lingering pleasant bitterness.
Why this matters to you. Manifest is not simply a stronger Jägermeister: it has a different alcohol base, a different maturation and a different taste. Compare it with Original by the name and percentage on the label, not only by the look of the bottle. Also check that the label really says Manifest. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe amount of alcohol.
