Jägermeister (, , ) is a German digestif〔(The bitter truth ), Drinks International, 1 October 2007〕 made with 56 herbs and spices at a strength of 35% alcohol by volume (61 degrees proof, or US 70 proof). It is the flagship product of Mast-Jägermeister SE, headquartered in Wolfenbüttel, south of Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany. ==History== Curt Mast, the original distiller of Jägermeister and son of the founder Wilhelm, was an enthusiastic hunter. The name when literally translated means "Hunting Master"〔 "Jägermeister: ''höherer Jagdbeamter''" (i.e., a high-ranking government official in charge of matters related to hunting)〕 It is a title for a high-ranking official in charge of matters related to hunting. The term ''Jägermeister'' had existed as a job title for many centuries. It was redefined in 1934 in the new ''Reichsjagdgesetz'' (Imperial Hunting Law), which applied the term to senior foresters, game wardens, and gamekeepers in the German civil service. Hermann Göring was appointed ''Reichsjägermeister'' (Imperial Gamekeeper) when the new hunting law was introduced. Thus, when Jägermeister was introduced in 1935, its name was already familiar to Germans—it was sometimes called "Göring-Schnaps."〔 〕 Jägermeister came to greater international attention particularly through the work of Sidney Frank, who ran an American liquor import company. He promoted the drink at the youth and student market, as a drink for parties, a quite different niche to its traditional conservative brand position in its native market. ''New York'' magazine quoted a market research firm as describing him as a 'promotional genius' for making "a liqueur with an unpronounceable name...drunk by older, blue-collar Germans as an after-dinner digestive aid...synonymous with ‘party’." The Mast-Jägermeister company ultimately purchased Sidney Frank Importing in 2015. In 2012, Jägermeister launched premixed drinks as a brand extension. The drinks come in two flavours, "raw" and "ginger lime". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jägermeister」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
