Dr. Jaglas Maca Ginseng Elixir - Herbal Bitters Digestif

For decades, the Jagla family of pharmacists has been using a medieval monastery recipe, traditional herbalism and old pharmacopoeia knowledge to produce high-proof herbal bitters (Amaros), spiced liqueurs and sugar-free gin. The Jaglas macerate carefully matured spirits from selected bitter herbs, fine spices and essential oils - still by hand today.

The Maca Ginseng Elixir was developed as a special edition for the newspaper DIE ZEIT, where it was distributed exclusively for a few weeks. This handmade amaro with 35% vol. is a further development of the ginseng elixir, which has been enhanced with nutty maca roots. Maca roots are also known as Peru ginseng and are native to the upper altitudes of the Peruvian Andes. Due to the extreme climatic conditions, they have become robust roots with high resistance over the centuries. They have always been used both as food and as a medicinal plant.

The lettering on the gift packaging "Ad Multos Annos" (To many years) emphasizes this special feature of both roots (maca & ginseng).

The maca ginseng elixir is powerful and finely balanced on the tongue. Its note is bitter-sweet and lies in the middle of these taste dimensions. The long finish is underlined by a nutty nuance.

After several weeks of maturation, maca and ginseng roots, selected tinctures and essences including from gentian, cinchona bark, ginger rhizome, cardamom, lemon root, cloves, bitter orange peel, juniper berries, centaury, cinnamon bark, galangal rhizome, camphor, lavender, valerian, citronella, angelica root and a hint of saffron have been combined to form the balanced heart of the elixir.

The origin, purity and content (e.g. bitter substances, essential oils) of all herbs are precisely defined. The standardized high demands on the roots, barks and flowers, which are gently macerated in the pharmacy, are even certified according to German Pharmacopoeia quality.

Recipes:

It is suitable neat (as a digestif), with a few ice cubes (as an aperitif) or as a base for drinks, e.g. with tonic or instead of Campari in Negroni. It is important to "roulade" slowly - as when tasting wine - in the front of the mouth.
