Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. introduced the first Jagermeister Tap Machine in 1993 and created the "ice cold shot" phenomenon. This not only brought the brand out of the cold box and onto the bar, but also made Jagermeister the first tapped spirit in the industry. With nearly 100,000 tap machines in bars and restaurants across the country, the both functional and iconic display unit has helped position Jagermeister as one of the leading shot brands, the #1 imported selling liqueur in the United States and the 7^th largest selling premium spirit in the world.

Nobody ever bragged about their freezer, until now. Compact enough to fit under most kitchen cabinets, the Shotmeister is a must-have gift and home bar accessory that boasts a sleek silver and black design. This bold addition to the Jagermeister Tap Machine family is smaller and lighter than the in-bar Tap Machine but features the same state-of-the-art rapid cooling mechanism technology designed to chill and dispense Jagermeister at temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the Shotmeister is extremely energy efficient and consumes the same amount of electricity as just a 60 watt florescent light bulb.  

"With the introduction of the Shotmeister, consumers can now recreate the experience of ice cold shots of Jagermeister out of the tap machine in their own home," says Amanda Blanco, Vice President of Marketing for Jagermeister at Sidney Frank Importing Company. "This new innovation is perfect for parties and at home entertaining as it ensures that each and every shot of Jagermeister is served at the appropriate temperature; ice cold."

The Shotmeister is designed to hold only a 750ml or 1L Jagermeister bottle. With no assembly required, the all-new Shotmeister is easy to operate and easy to clean.  The Jagermeister Tap Machine and Shotmeister are manufactured and sold by Tap Machine, Inc. Suggested Retail Price is $199.00 (plus shipping and handling as well as tax where applicable) and comes with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. To purchase the Shotmeister, visit www.tapmachine.com.
