LeGrand Peanut Butter Bourbon is a collaboration between Nicholas Creamery, which has five ice cream shops in Monmouth County, and Eric LeGrand Bourbon. The flavor is made with peanut butter ice cream "churned with hearty pours of Eric LeGrand Bourbon," according to a news release.

This is the second collaboration between the companies. LeGrand Bourbon Maple Pecan was released in September 2023.
