Consider yourself a whiskey nut? Then you won't want to miss this brand-new peanut butter whiskey.

At Dan's, we're always on the lookout for the next big thing, for a drink that'll capture the imagination and tickle the taste buds of drinkers across the nation. And with Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey, the newest addition to our whiskey range, we think we've found it. It's Australia's first peanut butter whiskey – yep, you heard correctly – and we're assuming that you have questions. The good news? We have the answers, in all their peanut buttery goodness.
Where does Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey come from?There are no points for guessing that Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey comes from the USA – what other country would go ahead and blend these two tasty things together? This liqueur is produced by the Sazerac Company, which is an iconic New Orleans business entwined with the history of the Sazerac cocktail and the American liquor industry more generally. These days, the Sazerac Company has expanded out of New Orleans and has numerous distilleries, including in the whiskey heartland of Kentucky.
What does Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey taste like?Imagine throwing peanut butter and whiskey in a blender and you've got your answer. It's a delicious, sweet 'n' salty combination showcasing butterscotch, hazelnut and caramel flavours, as well as those famously warm whiskey notes. There's plenty to love here, even for those who have typically avoided whiskey in the past, with the peanut-butter infusion helping to balance the whiskey's telltale kick.
How should I drink Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey?With an open mind, for starters. The first sip can throw you a little, given peanut butter and whiskey will likely be a combination you've never tried before, so take a second sip and mull over the flavours. We recommend serving this whiskey already chilled, rather than poured over ice, as this helps open up the flavours and allows the caramel and butterscotch to take centre stage. And if you're feeling fancy? Then mix up a peanut butter espresso martini by swapping vodka out for Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey. It's a nutty twist on a modern favourite, and sure to wow even your most hard-to-impress friends.
What should I eat with Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey?Though perfectly enjoyable on its own, this peanut butter whiskey also makes for an excellent food companion. The classic whiskey pairing of dark chocolate is always a good idea, as are peanuts or – wait for it – chocolate-coated peanuts. Stick to sweet desserts, like sticky date pudding and vanilla ice cream, and you can't go wrong.
