Barenjager, a honey liqueur which translates to "Bear Hunter" was discovered in the forests of medieval Europe--dating back to the 15th century-- by the Eastern Prussian bear trap company, Teucke & Konig. This sweet concoction was the first professionally produced Meschkinnes - a mead-like moonshine made from honey by beekeepers and farmers - and was formulated to aid hunters in attracting bears and to lure them from their dwellings.
Made in Germany, this 70 proof honey liqueur is made with premium quality honey from the Mexican province of Yucatan. Each liter bottle contains 300 grams of natural honey and a mixture of botanicals resulting in a subtly sweet, spicy and herb edged taste profile.
