That’s kinda hilarious. 
@OWYAC: If it’s not available in Buffalo, NY yet, it probably will be soon. That’s your closest US border town in you’re in Toronto, around 2 hours drive. Something tells me it win’t be available at LCBO for the next 4 years.
So it still tastes bad, but you won’t get drunk? Seems like a losing business plan to me.
Tastes like a burned condom filled with diesel and vomit
I’ve read various alarming descriptions of the taste.
Don’t sugarcoat it or they won’t try it for themselves!
From their web site, which is a hoot…
I think this part of Buffalo is not a slum. We were there about 10 years ago for a stay and were pleasantly surprised that it didn’t look like the industrial part of the city we used to drive past as quickly as possible in the 90’s. That’s rude! Sorry, Buffalo, we love you…
I love their timeline: 1920’s, Prohibition:
Jeppson skirts federal regulation given the recurring conclusion by law enforcement that nobody would drink his concoction recreationally.
I always remember the news reports from Buffalo when I was a kid, and there was always a fire in Tonawanda.
I’m beginning to wonder how much Malört is like Underberg, since Malört’s site calls it a digestif. Underberg is nasty, but it quickly does what it says on the tin.
I’m hip to Underberg b/c spent a year working at a great S. Coliforniyah German deli during the 90s. Got a bad case of indigestion there one day, and Tante Inge opened & handed me a little bottle of Underberg. She warned me re: its unpleasant flavor, but it works so well I’ve wanted a case of it ever since.
Ausgezeichnet!
“Delicious?” Can’t imagine what could have destroyed the copy writer’s taste buds to the point they think it’s delicious!
ETA:
It’s also possible the copy writer was told to lie 
I think the Italians do a good job with digestivi:
and there’s loads more…
I found I really like Jagermeister. Surprised me because I had a friend who always used to say it was nasty.
So I decided I’d branch out and try some others. I want to try Fernet, Becherovka, Averna Amaro… But as little as I drink and as big as those bottles are, it doesn’t make sense to get too many at once.
I’m a bit leery of Cynar since I’ve seen it described as “earthy.”
I started with Liquoure Strega, because the bottle is pretty (heh) and I had read it was supposed to be similar to Chartreuse but is much cheaper. And… then I found out there’s a “nobody likes Strega” meme about it, and people saying no, it’s not really much like Chartreuse. It’s much more “bitey” than Jager and sometimes has a weird aftertaste, probably from the fennel.
(I suppose I could actually go to a bar to try things… it’s just never been a thing that I do.)
You’d probably like Cynar, it is made from artichokes, so it has a bit of that flavor, I bet you’d love Nocino (made from green hazelnut skins), but I’ve only ever had homemade stuff.
I think it depends highly on what herb flavors you like, I quite like a anice and fennel, but I know it’s not for everyone.
Mom tried Jäger, and despite being a major licorice addict, she loathed it. Her comment cracked me up, and has the same effect on those to whomst I quote it.
“A shot of this in a gallon of water would make a really nice herbal tea.”
A friend may know of “your kind of bars” nearby-ish. I learned about a zillion nearby bars & restaurants I had no clue existed when I looked online for stuff around us.
I imagine if you give a bartender a $20 tip as soon as U belly up, they’ll have no problem giving you little tastes of several different boozes U’d like to sample; a bigger tip would mean more samples. It seems etiquette and just not being a dick in gen’l would require also ordering at least a couple drinks, and tipping each time.
Doing shots in a bar is the most expensive way you can put alcohol in your body.
Should U return to the same bar and see that bartender, U’ll get VIP treatment.
Her tea comment is appropriate because jaeger is so herbal-y. I could see someone adding a shot of that for something like a jaeger toddy.
I’ll drink the stuff if i’m with folks that like it but personally i don’t prefer it.
I dislike licorice but funny enough i don’t mind salmiakki
