How a quirky flavor idea turned into a nationwide whiskey sensation
Once upon a time in sunny San Diego, a misfit idea was born behind the bar of a local beachside restaurant. A bartender with a love for the unexpected began experimenting with flavors—mixing whiskey with peanut butter of all things. The result? A surprisingly smooth, slightly sweet, nutty spirit that would soon become one of the most talked-about whiskeys in America: Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.
What started as a playful experiment quickly became a cult favorite among locals. Customers couldn’t get enough of this unconventional combination. Peanut butter and whiskey? It sounded crazy—until you tasted it. Rich, creamy, and with just the right kick, Skrewball flipped the whiskey world upside down.
Co-founded by husband-and-wife duo Steven and Brittany Yeng, Skrewball officially launched in 2018, embracing its status as the rebel of the spirits world. With its bold black sheep logo, the brand leaned into its identity as a rule-breaker. Unlike traditional whiskeys that play it safe, Skrewball wasn’t afraid to be different—and that difference paid off.
In just a few short years, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey went from a local bar trick to a nationwide hit, racking up awards and earning shelf space in thousands of liquor stores and bars across the U.S. It became a staple for cocktails, dessert pairings, and even creative shots like the “Skrewball & Jelly”—a nostalgic nod to the PB&J.
Today, Skrewball is more than just a flavored whiskey—it’s a movement for those who color outside the lines. Whether you sip it straight, mix it in a milkshake, or shake up a cocktail, Skrewball proves that the best ideas often come from doing things a little differently.
So if you’re looking for a whiskey that’s bold, flavorful, and fun, join the misfits and try a taste of the original peanut butter whiskey. Cheers to going a little nuts.
