Jägermeister taste is not a TTB class. It is a German herbal liqueur, not whiskey or a digestif class. Trade tiles often print 35% / 70; read the neck. Licorice or herb talk is bar English. A 1.5-ounce pour at 35% would be 0.88 of one NIAAA drink if that neck is 35%.

A 750 mL 35% bottle would be about 14.8 drinks if the neck is 35%. Pour math: shot drinks.
