Bärenjäger is a German honey-flavoured liqueur, said to have been developed in Eastern Prussia during the late 15th century. The name means 'bear hunter' or 'bear trap' and each bottle contains 225 grams of natural honey.

Bärenjäger is sold in a very distinctive bottle with a plastic beehive-shaped cap. (Original bottles came wrapped woven jacket with a bee lapel badge.)

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 06/01/2013

Appearance:

Clear, bronze with burnished bronze glints.

Aroma:

Smells like fortified honey – basically it is.

Taste:

Thick and syrupy but sprity rather than overly sweet. Thick set honey, a touch of vanilla, nutmeg, cocoa powder, clove, honey cake and cigar box.

Aftertaste:

Lingering honey and nutmeg spice. A fabulous liqueur for a winter's night. Great in cocktails.
