Whether the alcohol that it's made with comes from cabbage, I'm not a 100% certain, I did trying to find a source online to verify what I said. I know Vodka is a drink that could be made from potatoes (or grain), so it seems plausible, because it comes from Germany it made sense it to me it would be made from cabbage. I don't mind the 56 herbs and spices, but it's the thought that it comes from cabbage makes me queasy thinking about it.
I see.
Yea I got curious and looked it up but the sources I find doesn't say anything about cabbage. In fact, I can't find any sources hinting to exactly what kind of alcohol Jagermeister is processed with, but just that they add the roots, spices and all that other stuff to it and do a filtering process, etc.

I can't find much in the way of any cabbage fermenting process that any alcohol relies on either.
