OK so Waldmeister is apparently an herb that is popular in German confectionery and beer and wine making. It’s called Sweet Woodrow in the US.

Waldmeister translates to “Master of the Forest.”

Interesting. TIL, because so far I thought that there was not even a name for this plant in English (except for the Latin scientific name).

So far, I've only seen this flavour to be used in German speaking countries.

Waldmeister is it's own unique flavour, comparable to menthol (mint) but different, used mostly for sweets/drinks. Quick googling shows that it's not known in US as a flavouring.
Sold Foodstuffs usually contain a artifical flavour from a cumarin derivative that is safer.
