Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon is Pure Honey Balanced Perfection

It’s Time for a New Honey! Bärenjäger German Classic Honey Liqueur Adds Bourbon–

Classic Barenjager Flavor of Pure Honey and Kentucky Bourbon

Make no mistake, there are differences in the flavored infused products that show up at retailers shelves and back bars and the release of Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon is a perfect example.

Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon is hitting store shelves and back bars this month and the difference is the pure honey flavor that made Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur a classic that has roots as far back as the 15th Century.

Imported to the United States by Sidney Frank Importers, it still produced for Teucke & Koenig company by Schwarze & Schlichte the family-owned German company that has 340 years of distilling knowledge and tradition. With just the  right amount of Kentucky Bourbon and blend of classic  Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur, this 70 proof spirit rises above other Bourbonsand whiskeys. Honey tones hit first and the words natural sweetness and real honey  immediately come to mind.

BeverageUnderground Mixes Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon

In the last several years bartenders have rediscovered and been introduced to natural sweeteners new and old that enhance cocktails without artificial aftertaste, and honey is perhaps the most natural and pure…of them all. 

The Bärenjäger brand is international, but has long been a part of German culture and is most often called  Bäerenfang in Germany.  Known as Barenjager around the globe, it is still made the traditional way from neutral grain alcohol and premium natural honey from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

It never was artificial in flavor or in its development and in fact was first formulated as a home and farm remedy by beekeepers and hunters to aid them in attracting bears away from their dwellings. It was the Eastern Prussian bear trap company, Teucke & König, that first introduced Bärenjäger, the original honey liqueur which translates to “Bear Hunter.” And, by the way… Teucke & König no longer makes bear traps.

In the United States sales have doubled in sales and popularity over the last 10 years. As a new generation of  mixologists have pushed back from artificial flavors and products with fructose syrups and have discovered that Bärenjäger’s 300 grams of natural honey is an ideal sweetening agent, that has unlimited mixability.
