    I gotta say I lean on the whiskey purist side as well. I do enjoy a whiskey (heavy pour) and Coke once in a while. When I saw a Skrewball mini bottle on the shelf I had to try it, and while I spent a long time licking the sugars off my lips, I was pleasantly surprised. It will never be my go-to sipper, but will be that occasional novelty shot over ice for sure!

Nice review, gave me some ideas on how to drink this other than out of the freezer.

    The story behind this "Whiskey" is really cool. I am from Ocean Beach, the town where this was born. In particular at the O.B. Noodle house is where the peanut butter whiskey shots started so far as I can tell. The owner of the Noodle house (featured on diners, dives and drive ins), His name is Steve is a bit of a local and very successful legend. Started the Noodle House and became very successful, opened a second restaurant and now opened a very nice bar named the Holding Company or THC for short. I may not be the biggest fan of the whiskey itself but I'm proud of the fact that it came from our little Surfer/Hippy town of Ocean Beach!

  • @jeeping1974

    Screwball is the best peanut butter whiskey out there. I keep it in the freezer as it's smoother and brings the flavor out even more. True peanut butter lovers will enjoy this whiskey, even if you're not a big fan of whiskey (like myself), this tastes so good.

    The original way this was served out in California was a chilled shot with the shot glass rimmed with burnt sea salt. I became aware of this at OB Noodle House out in San Diego before it was bottled. There is a difference between the "fresh" version and the bottled version for sure. The bottled is very nice for mixing but not so good straight.

    I like my Skrewball mixed with 360 Chocolate and Vanilla vodka. 2 part SB, 2 part 360 Choco and 1 part 360 Vanilla. Something close to a peanut butter cup cocktail. We keep it in the fridge to serve cold, even over ice from the fridge. About the only whiskey based drink she likes. She usually grabs a rum cocktail on vacation but this is her daily pour.
    p.s. Per my local liquor store it is the best selling bottle of hooch by far.

    It's done well. In the realm of flavored whiskey, would take this over Fireball. Peanut butter infused whiskey is an old school classic. Smoke a cigar with it and the sweetness clompliments the carbon. Also, it's a good palate reset. Whiskey, espresso, soda, rock salt and lime and this slays all day. Cheers!

    I hate snobs of all walks of life and have been looking for something like this for quite some time. Not a candy cordial like Fireball but something new and different (and lower power proof-wise). Skrewball hits all the marks (for me). Sheep Dog is 'ok' (certainly cheaper and doesn't trigger Peanut allergies), and as soon as I can find the other newcomers in the Peanut Butter space I'll try them too. Mostly I like the lower-proof (since I like to sip a few glasses and don't need the firepower of your typical whiskey - which I used to love 20 years ago - but now that I'm older - not so much). The fact that it's multi-modal between neat at room temp - and a different bevy of flavors after a couple of ice cubes, makes it a very fun beverage that won't clobber your head or your pocketbook. Special thanks for the bitters recommendation - I need to try that next!

    Ok Jeremy since you are my age you will get this, Beaver Nuggets are straight up Waffle-O's from when we were young. Now about Screwball, I have liked it for a long time but definitely in small amounts only. It is a dessert drink and is better with a one ice cube. Haven't found much it mixes well with yet but haven't tried it with coffee so I will have to do that.

  • @blind7000
    @blind7000 3 роки тому

    1:30 - Yep, you're thinking the right way. Whiskey as a TTB category has to be 80 proof. Flavored Whiskey is a different category completely than whiskey. It can be 60 proof but the way you can always tell it is flavored is the label section on the bottom. They always have to state the "recipe" which is "base spirit used + flavoring added" or "dominant flavor + base spirit." So here they are saying Base Spirit = whiskey, flavoring added = natural flavors and caramel color. If you read a label on Angel's Envy Bourbon they do the same thing because technically speaking there is no legal classification for finished bourbon so it is really Flavored Whiskey. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey = Base Spirit + Finished in Port Barrels = Flavor Added.

    • @blind7000
      @blind7000 3 роки тому

      Also, if there is enough sugar it goes to the Liqueur/Cordial category, but that is just depending on how much sugar is added so I would have to look up the label itself to see which one they submitted under.

    My wife and I tried the Screwball mixed with the PBR hard coffee over ice. Pretty tasty!
