Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey

Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey isn’t traditional whiskey—it’s a candy-inspired, nostalgia-driven flavored spirit. It nails the sweet and savory peanut butter profile and delivers a fun, indulgent sip. While stiff sugar makes it unbalanced as a stand-alone spirit, it earns high marks as a dessert companion or cocktail ingredient.

🥜 Origins & Identity

Skrewball launched in 2018 in San Diego and quickly rose to iconic status. Built on a corn-and-barley mash, it’s infused with natural peanut butter flavor, cane sugar, caramel, and vanilla notes, bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV)—technically more liqueur than whiskey. 

👃 Aroma (Nose)

Expect bold notes of warm roasted peanuts baked in pastry, layered with honey, vanilla, and soft sugar, and faint whiskey candied-grain undertones. Some detect rich chocolate hints on deeper sniffs. 

👅 Palate & Texture

• Flavor: Like sipping a liquified peanut butter cup—sweet, salty, and nutty. There’s plenty of peanut butter character, caramel, and subtle chocolate. Whiskey base remains mostly background. 

• Texture: Thick, syrupy, and oily; loaded with sugar—almost pudding-like mouthfeel. 

🔁 Finish

Long, sweet, and sticky—maple, peanut butter, and faint whiskey warmth. Not much bite, but a lingering sugary nutty sweet note. 

🍸 Best Uses & Pairings

• Neat or chilled (shot-style): Ideal for dessert-style sipping or novelty shots.

• Cocktails: Rich in peanut butter, try it in a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned, Nutty Russian, or PB&J shot—especially combined with chocolate, jam, or cream. 

• With desserts: Skrewball pairs well with ice cream, chocolate pudding, or bread pudding for a decadent finish.
