Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is a flavoured whiskey that marries the creamy sweetness of peanut butter with the warmth of distilled spirits. Launched in 2018 in San Diego, California, by founders Steven and Brittany Yeng, Skrewball was born from Steve’s discovery of peanut butter’s rich taste and Brittany’s expertise as a chemist. Their collaboration yielded a spirit that defies expectations, combining sweet, salty, and savory notes in one harmonious pour.

A young, blended American whiskey distilled to provide a smooth backbone.

All peanut butter character comes from natural flavours; no artificial oils or sweeteners are added beyond what’s required to deliver the signature taste.

Alcohol by Volume: 35% ABV (70 proof), striking a balance between strength and sippability.

Contains peanuts; labelled clearly to inform consumers of potential allergens.

Skrewball is bottled unaged, focusing attention on its flavoured profile rather than oak-derived complexity.

Skrewball’s tasting experience is as unconventional as its concept. Light amber with golden highlights, offering clarity and a slight viscosity on the glass.

A pronounced peanut butter character, an intriguing hybrid of ripe peanut and subtle hazelnut tones. A whisper of sweetness and buttery warmth greets the nose immediately. 

The palate delivers an interplay of sweet, salty, and savory. Initial notes of creamy peanut butter evolve into a faint saltiness that cuts through the sugar, yielding a surprisingly clean midpalate. A gummy texture builds gradually, lending body and mouth-coating depth. 

 Lingering peanut aftertaste persists long after swallowing. The sweet nutty notes can remain detectable even after brushing teeth and rinsing, a testament to its concentrated flavor profile.

Skrewball excels both as a shot and as a cocktail ingredient. Bartenders and home mixologists can experiment with:

– Skrewball Peanut Butter Old Fashioned 

– Nutty Russian (vodka or coffee liqueur base) 

– Skrewball Mudslide (vodka, coffee liqueur, cream) 

– PB&J Sour (Skrewball, fruit liqueur, lemon juice) 

– Banana & Bacon Flip (Skrewball, banana liqueur, egg white) 

Beyond these, the whiskey can replace standard whiskey in brownies, peanut butter milkshakes, or even boozy ice creams for a peanut-forward twist.

Skrewball markets itself as “the original peanut butter whiskey,” championing a narrative of fun, surprise, and shared experiences. Every label highlights the whimsical and unexpected nature of the spirit.
