Jägermeister is a type of liqueur called Kräuterlikör (herbal liqueur). It is akin to other European liqueurs, such as Gammel Dansk from Denmark, Beerenburg from the Netherlands, Unicum from Hungary, Becherovka from the Czech Republic, Demänovka from Slovakia, Pelinkovac from Croatia, Riga Black Balsam from Latvia, Gorki List from Serbia, and Chartreuse and Bénédictine from France. In contrast to those beverages, Jägermeister has a sweeter taste.
