Manifest is Jägermeister's super-premium line extension, blending an aged wheat distillate with the standard 56-botanical herbal recipe and maturing the result in oak. The producer describes prominent vanilla, cardamom and saffron notes over sweet anise and dried fruit, finishing with a light hint of spice, oak and a lingering, pleasant bitterness rather than the assertive bitterness of the original.
