If you like when your butthole is on fire, you're in the right place. Hot sauce recommendations encouraged. None of that extract bullshit. Heat for the sake of heat without proper flavor is retarded. Rate the spice level on a scale of x/10.
I've sampled many hot sauces over the years and built my tolerance up. It started with Tr3s Diablos. Still one of my favorites. When I first tried it, I couldn't handle it....but I loved the flavor so damn much, I forced myself to keep eating it. Now it's nothing to me. I'd say it's a solid 8/10 on the spice level. Really good flavor all around. Loved getting tacos at Chipotle and dumping it on the sour cream. That's a good way to build tolerance FYI. Habanero, Scorpion, and Ghost. It won't disappoint.
Ingredients: habanero peppers, vinegar, tomato paste, ghost peppers, scorpion peppers, garlic, onion, xanthan gum.
Here are other staples from www.pepperpalace.com that are fantastic:
Ghostly Garlic - 5/10. Amazing flavor. Heavy on the garlic. You will dump it all over whatever you are eating. I see now they have a reaper version...which I will be ordering. But this one is a good table sauce to have out.
Ingredients: Cayenne Pepper Sauce (Cayenne Peppers, Vinegar, Water, Salt, Garlic), Water, All Natural Lemon Juice, Garlic, Habanero Mash (Habaneros, Salt), Brown Sugar, Ghost Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Xanthan Gum.
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion w/ Garlic - 8/10. Good flavor. High on the heat. Wish it had a bit more garlic punch, but still a favorite.
Ingredients: habanero pepper, carrots, vinegar, scorpion pepper, salt, garlic, water, lime juice, sugar, xanthan gum.
Scorpion Stinger - 7/10. Another flavor punch favorite of mine. I don't think it's overly spicy, might be a slow burn. This is another good table sauce. Heavy on the vinegar with the heat in the background.
Ingredients: distilled vinegar, scorpion peppers, red habanero peppers, water, mustard (distilled vinegar, #1 mustard seed, salt, turmeric and spices), garlic, onions, cumin, xanthan gum, turmeric, salt, black pepper.
Pepper palace is all around a great place for hot sauces. I've ordered many others, and while they weren't my favorites, I was never really disappointed with any of them.
Next up is Torchbearer, another favorite brand all around. Haven't been disappointed with any of them. Here are the ones I've tried and continue to reorder and I definitely will be trying most all of their stock:
Garlic Reaper - 9/10. Tasting Notes: Creamy, savory garlic first with a quick, stinging extra hot reaper pepper flavor and burn quickly after. You get that creamy/garlic on the front at first and a second later your mouth is on fire. Wish it had a bit more on the front end as the burn comes quick, but probably my favorite sauce from them so far.
Zombie Apocalypse -8/10. Tasting Notes: Vegetable forward with a great ghost pepper flavor and a little creaminess.
Son of Zombie - 6/10. Pepper: Ghost pepper; habanero, chipotle peppers. It's sweet, smoky, spicy, with a nice slow burn and good flavor. This thing is great on wings.
Headless Horseradish - 6/10. It's creamy and garlicky with a solid horseradish flavor, and delivers a slow-building heat. If you like horseradish, you need this in your stock.
Tabasco Scorpion - 8.5/10. Surprised? Think of Tabasco as weaksauce as I did? Try this shit. It ain't no joke. Flavor is great. I use it as a general table hot sauce and for eggs. I generally see it stocked in grocery stores now, but before I had to order from their website.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume most are familiar with Hot Ones and Heatonist, Last Dab, etc. So I won't bother posting their sauces. They are all around another great shop to grab stuff. I will say, probably my favorite among them is the Hot Ones Pepper X edition....which...I don't even see on their site anymore, so damn am I glad I bought extra bottles to store.
May your buttholes forever burn with worth. Here's some LA Beast. Now laugh at that you stupid bastards.
