If you have never enjoyed a boiled peanut then you are missing out on one of life's great pleasures. Boiled peanuts elicit exactly two reactions. The first goes what the hell, no no no, I need something to drink to wash this flavor out of my mouth. The second reaction, the reaction from people who are the better people in our society, is pure joy.

To mix things up for 2019, it's time to boozy-up those nuts! Simply add some peated whisky to your boil and you are all set. It's that easy.
