Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is the original peanut butter whiskey — the bottle that started the whole category. Bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV), it blends American whiskey with rich, roasted peanut butter flavor for a pour that's equal parts nostalgic and indulgent.
Born in Ocean Beach, San Diego, Skrewball started as a bestselling peanut butter whiskey shot at founders Steven and Brittany Yeng's bar. Brittany's chemistry background turned that bar shot into a shelf-stable bottle, and it took off — Double Gold at the SIP Awards, Best Flavored Whiskey in New York, and a permanent spot in America's flavored-whiskey canon.
Tasting notes: Roasted peanuts lead, followed by waves of caramel and gentle vanilla sweetness. The palate is creamy and peanut-forward — like a liquified peanut butter cup — with butterscotch, honey, and subtle oak underneath. The finish is sweet and lingering, all warm nuttiness and soft whiskey warmth.
