Anyone with a bottle able to check it?

Yeah, well, sometimes what you read here isn't way up there on the clever scale.
After trying it I agree way to sweet for a whiskey might work as a mixed drink.Irishgnome wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2019 2:08 pm So, I finally go to try screwball.
IMO, this is absolute crap.
I enjoy what I have made with the PB2 Powder so far.
Screwball has a ton of sweetener added
I commented on an older post about the same product. "Syrup of Ipecac" viewtopic.php?f=102&t=74458
Save your money and make your own.

I finally got around to doing a run today. I don't know how close it is to the liquor in the OP because I haven't tasted that. I haven't finished playing with blending ratios and sweetness yet, but it already looks promising for entertaining peanut butter nutters.NZChris wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 10:10 pmI'm guessing it's easy, but I have only done hazelnuts. Peanuts had dropped off my radar, but they are back on again now.
Roast your peanuts, don't burn them.
Get rid of the skins.
Do the peanut run with heart cut white dog whiskey so that you're not having to chuck a lot of your flavor out with the heads and tails.
Use enough roasted peanuts to make an essence strength likker.
Blend with aged whiskey to get the flavor intensity/balance that you want.
I've tried several blends and arrived at 6% sugar as my preference, but I haven't got a sweet tooth. 8% might suit others better.
A few years ago we had a thread that dealt with a lot of essences, also getting more of a vanilla flavor and smoothing your product by using a vanilla bean.SaltyStaves wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:32 am Bought this with the intention of using it to make a salted caramel Irish cream, but thought it was a bit....much.
