Willy Shine, the “brandmeister” for Mast-Jägermeister U.S., likes to point out that Jägermeister is basically a German amaro with a great deal of heritage behind it. “Jägermeister is a very versatile liquid to work within the realm of co*cktails,” he says.
Shine believes the two base spirits in this riff on an Old Fashioned make a perfect match. “Jägermeister and rye whiskey pair together harmoniously, so it was only natural to create a Jägermeister version” of the classic whiskey co*cktail, he says. “I love the spicy notes in this co*cktail, as well as the layers of flavor upon every sip.”
