Whisky Tastings: Screwball Peanut Butter Whisky

Screwball Peanut Butter Whisky

Screwball Peanut Butter whisky was created by Steven and Brittany Yeng at his bar. Looking for a signature drink Steven combined peanut butter and whisky, and Brittany turned into a brand.

When he first combined his favorite classics—peanut butter and whiskey to create the most delicious shot, many snubbed their nose at this idea. But, it didn’t take long before it became their signature shot. He teamed up with his wife to create Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey—and to their surprise, ended up creating something even better than the original shot. Of course, the team wouldn’t be complete without the rest of the band of Skrewballs joining them to share Skrewball with the world. So, join us. Grab a glass and release your inner black sheep.

The Bottle

The white label with a black sheep stands out, it is simple but distinguished. The tag line of “To the misfits, black sheep, and screwballs” sums up the whiskey. This is not your dad’s whisky that he would sip after a long day of work. There is no age statement on the bottle, and it comes in at 70 proof (35% alcohol by volume. The color is deep and rich caramel, and on the nose, it was exactly as you expected smelling of peanut butter.

Tasting the whisky – Straight (Neat)

This whisky is very sweet, I liken it to a sweet southern tea. I was surprised the peanut butter didn’t come out stronger with a short but smooth finish.

Tasting the whisky – With Water

I added a bit more water than I would normally put into a whisky, but in doing so it cut the sweetness and allowed the peanut butter to take hold. This also shortened the finish and allowed more peanut butter on the finish.

Tasting the whisky – With Ice (On the Rocks)

This is my favorite way to drink this whisky without putting it into a cocktail. The ice muted the sweetness even more than with just water and really allowed the taste of peanut butter to become dominant.

Final Thoughts

This is not a whisky that I would drink every day, I enjoy Screwball in a cocktail. Mrs. Dapper Man ordered a chocolate and peanut butter cocktail and the dark chocolate helped balance the sweetness and it tasted like a peanut butter cup. But on it’s own it’s very sweet, and the best way to drink it on it’s own is with ice so that the sweetness is muted and the peanut butter comes to the front.

Thank you for visiting The Dapper Man we hope you have a fantastic day.

Whiskey Review: Stillhouse Mint Chip

The other day Mrs. Dapper Man brought home some Stillhouse Mint Chip whiskey from the store. What caught her eye? I don’t know. It’s could have been the vintage looking tin, or the fact it was mint and chocolate flavored whiskey. Mrs Dapper Man and I enjoy mint and chocolate flavored desserts. But for whatever reason it caught her eye and she brought it home and suggested that I make a review video for it.

Not convinced it would be any good I put it off, did a few other videos, got busy with work, but finally I decided I should stop procrastinating (something a gentleman strives to never do) and make the video.

Stillhouse whiskeys are crafted in Columbia Tennessee, they have six flavors (below).

  • Clear Corn Whiskey
  • Apple Crisp Whiskey
  • Coconut Whiskey
  • Mint Chip
  • Peach Tea Whiskey
  • Red Hot

The Stillhouse website says that “The mighty duo of mint and chocolate are perfectly combined and blended with our smooth, 100% clear corn whiskey for a taste that starts with a hint of mint and then adds a bit of chocolate. Yum.” and that it should be served cold.

So after pouring a dram I gently swirl the whiskey and take a quick sniff and to my surprise the smell of mint doesn’t overpower my nose. A few more sniffs and I take my first sip. It is sweet, not to much mint until after you swallow and the vapor hits your mouth. Again the mint isn’t over powering, and the chocolate creeps up on you.

I really do enjoy this whiskey. I will continue to drink it, I haven’t tried it cold yet but I will soon. My guess is that this would be great in a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or mixed with ice cream to make a milk shake.

Well I hope you enjoyed this review. I suggest you pick up some Stillhouse Mint Chip whiskey if you like mint chocolate chip flavored anything and thank you for visiting The Dapper Man we hope you have a fantastic day.

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie 10yr

The Dapper Man reviews Glenmorangie Original (10 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky). A few months ago I was given a Glenmorangie Sampler that included four 100ml blends of Glenmorangie Scotch Whisky. They included:

  • Glenmorangie (original)
  • Lasanta
  • Nectar D’Or
  • Quinta Ruban

Today I’m going to open and sample the Glenmorangie (Original) 10 year old Single Malt Scotch.

For a brief history and primer on scotch please read our Scotch 101 article.

History of Glenmorangie

Glenmorangie was established in 1843 and is from the highlands so in general the flavor profile should be light (not a lot of peat or smoke). Below is the description from Glenmorangie’s website.

The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland’s tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried ‘designer casks’ from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time.

Glenmorangie 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

Aroma: The scent of citrus and ripening peaches is softened by the aroma of vanilla.

Taste: First, vanilla is detected on the tongue before it ripples along the palate bringing a burst of flowery fruitiness.

Finish: About a minute after tasting, you are left with a clean and salving aftertaste with hints of orange and peach.

Do I get all those flavors? No, but I’m still developing my palate and learning how to taste different flavors. What I will say is that I like Glenmorangie 10yr and suggest you try it if given a chance. It’s light, smooth, and flavorful.

Thank you for visiting The Dapper Man we hope you have a fantastic day.
