Review: Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey
Review: Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey
Watch out Skrewball, there’s another peanut butter flavored whiskey on the market: Sheep Dog, a new product from spirits giant Sazerac. There’s not a lot of production information here, but the whiskey is naturally flavored and colored with caramel.
Put simply, Sheep Dog makes Skrewball look like a masterpiece. Crack the bottle and vaporized sugar erupts from the neck, invading the senses. More Butterfinger candy than peanut butter, the nose exudes a funky mix of maple syrup, cake frosting, and buttered popcorn. Wildly sweet, you can smell the diabetes from several feet away — though there is a vague hint of nuttiness somewhere in the mix.
No surprises on the palate: Incredibly, overbearingly sweet, it drinks like melted vanilla cake frosting and has no resemblance to any peanut butter I’ve ever tried. It does however bring back a vivid sense memory of Smirnoff’s Iced Cake vodka, which has been locked in my subconscious for nearly a decade. Not in a good way.
70 proof.

Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey
$20
It reminded me of a maple creamstick
Sheep dog is much better than the overrated screwball. For $20 cheaper you get a thinner, (screwball is syrupy) higher alcohol content and a better taste. Don’t be fooled by a catchy name, cute bottle and big price tag.

Thank you for being you.
It’s a no from me (sheep) dawg.
How this is whiskey or peanut butter is beyond me. It tastes like butterscotch and is offensively sweet.
Has a Screwball PB shot the other night…was quite deloycious. Wanted to get some for home, saw this Sheep Dog PB whiskey on sale for almost half the price of Screwball so I bought it. Gave it a try and tastes just as good as Screwball to me. Weird that the cheap apple whiskey I buy is by Bird Dog and now the cheap PB whiskey is by Sheep Dog.
There is a saying, just because you can, does not mean that you should, YUK
I just wanted to share a very special recipe of mine.
Poor Mans Old Pulteney:
375ml of sheep dog peanut butter whiskey
750 ml of Johnnie Walker red label scotch whisky
Blend the two spirits together well. I give it a good shake in my empty 1 liter wine bottle.
Whisky is a bit sweeter with more toffee and honey on the palate but will taste very close to the award winning maritime scotch known as Old Pulteney!
I enjoy it more than their 12 year old offering.
Un sorbo y me puso a sudar. Sabe en la madre
half a bottle and i feel almost nothing. are we sure they arent watering it down? taste is pretty good.
it is watered down, it’s 70 proof ?
