Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey was created and distilled by husband and wife duo, Steven Yeng and Brittany Merrill Yeng. After their Southern California restaurants (OB Noodle House + Bar 1502) served up so many of their unmistakable peanut butter flavored whiskey shots, it only made sense to brand and bottle their recipe. Already wildly popular with locals, the duo behind the whiskey phenomenon began experimenting in the lab to come up with the perfect peanut butter flavor, using only vegan friendly and gluten free ingredients. After years spent perfecting the recipe, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey was born and was just awarded a Double Gold Medal for Best Flavored Whiskey in the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition.
