4.25? Really???? Yes, BUT...
Screwball is labelled as a whiskey, but it's not (with all due respect to Screwball and their branding and marketing teams). Like Drambuie, it's a whiskey-based liqueur. It's syrupy and super sweet, like a peanut butter version of Licor 43.
For those who like peanut butter, have a serious sweet tooth, and prefer to keep the ABV low, this stuff has the potential to be very dangerous. Liquid crack. It's simply bursting with a sweet peanut butter flavor, which is admirably achieved with natural flavoring.
For me, it's too sweet to drink straight. While I can tolerate and even enjoy a high level of natural sweetness in a whiskey, this isn't even close.
Nevertheless, I suspect it would be an excellent mixer. I have yet to experiment, but I can see it being the basis for an Americanized version of a Rusty Nail (which is Scotch and Drambuie). In this case, the ingredients could be bourbon and Skrewball. Let's call it a Rusty Skrew! Marketing genius, or is it just the Barrell Bourbon Batch 19 talking? The peanut note in Beam products will never seem the same...

@PBMichiganWolverine That sounds quite good. Through a friend, he said add Chombord with the Srewball for a PB&J. Truth be told, it was good, if you have a sweet tooth.
I have feeling a pour of this into a silly smooth hot chocolate would be amazing
@BeppeCovfefe. I have my limits. If I was stranded on a remote island with nothing but Fireball I would abstain. At least until I went mad, but I suspect taste would be entirely irrelevant at that point.
If you like this, I've got something for you to try, it's called FIREBALL.
Liquid Reece's!! haha great review!
