integrated Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival program to engage their

the mystery and lure that surrounds Jägermeister. The EDM festival
platform will focus on Jägermeister’s rich heritage, 56 premium
ingredients and the brand’s complex production process in a unique and
unexpected way. With more than 383 quality checks and a method that ages
the product in oak barrels for up to a year, Jägermeister takes pride
in its traditional craftsmanship and quality processes used to achieve
its iconic taste profile.

About Jägermeister
Introduced 80 years ago, Jägermeister, German for “Master
Hunter,” is the second largest selling imported liqueur in the United
States. Ranked 8th by Impact International’s definitive Top 100 Premium
Spirit Brands, this herbal liqueur is one of the most successful premium
brands worldwide and available in 108 countries around the world. The
iconic taste of Jägermeister is not left to chance but is due to decades
of experience, a safely guarded secret recipe consisting of 56 natural
herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits including star anise, cardamom,
cinnamon and ginger roots, and 383 quality checks. The botanical
ingredients are extracted in their raw, unprocessed form through a
gentle, weeks-long process of cold maceration to create Jägermeister’s
base. The base, housed in more than 400 oak casks, then “breathes” for
one full year, which is key to creating the complex and balanced flavor
of Jägermeister’s legendary taste profile. Jägermeister Liqueur is 35%
Alc. /Vol. and imported exclusively by Sidney Frank Importing Company,
Inc., New Rochelle, NY. SFIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of MJUS. Visit www.jagermeister.com, www.facebook.com/jagerusa or www.instagram.com/jagerusa for additional information. DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
