Hot HOT HOT Sauce with Roasted Pepper & Smoked Carolina Reaper 140ml (GF)

I'm back, writing a SECOND review because I can, as I have officially purchased this Gift from Above online as well as in stores. If you don't remember me from the last review, I'm the woman who fell in love at first taste bud-tickle with this unfathomably delectable sauce.

Once I'd used up the first bottle that I'd purchased at the Jone's & Co IGA in Southport, Gold Coast, I struggled to acquire more at brick-and-mortar stores. I'd moved to Brisbane, and no local IGAs or specialty marts sold my beloved! I went MONTHS without the spice of delight in my life, the smokey nights of onion, tomato, and ghost pepper long gone in days past.

Finally, I bucked; I swallowed the cost of the minimum order fee and bought 3 of these babies along with the Hot Sauce and Pulled Beef (I'll review those at a later point). I gave one jar to my surrogate Indian grandparent landlords/upstairs neighbors, I have one jar to keep at work, and one jar for home.

I still say "oh my God" every time I take a bite of a food infused with this flavour, and will definitely be making sure I don't run out again anytime soon.

Peace, love, and flaming b*ttholes,

Anna

My husband has tried everything hot. You name it, he’s tried it. He smothers this sauce over absolutely everything and I will never have to search for another brand to try. This is the one.

Preface: I am extremely picky with my hot sauces. It seems that everything out there is too vinegary, too sweet, lacking in flavour, or just not that spicy- then this sauce came into my life.

It was so good that I was still downstairs in the kitchen making dinner when I licked the lid and had to text my fiance about how amazing it was because I couldn't wait until I went upstairs to tell him. I started to worry that the rest of the sauce wouldn't be as delicious, since the bit stuck to the inside of the lid is always more concentrated, but boy was I wrong. I've never met a hot sauce that has made me say "oh my God" so many times or audibly moan in pleasure as I lick the bottle neck, unable to bear the thought of losing even a drop of this precious red gold.

Spice level: 9/10

Have some full-fat yogurt nearby. You could be crying because of how delicious it is, or it could also be because your mouth is going numb with pain.

Flavour: 11/10

Bursting with freshness and strong notes of mouth-watering smoky peppers, this sauce has the perfect balance of salt, vinegar, and isn't too watery.

Overall: 10/10

If you can handle some heat, please try this sauce. So far I've only had it straight, on a tortilla chip, and mixed into some salsa. There are still a million more ways for me to enjoy this sauce, but it was too good not to immediately leave a review.

R.I.P. my butthole tomorrow.

Tried this for the first time at the Toowoomba Markets over the weekend and I am already looking to buy more. It is hot, but with the right amount will add a good amount of heat with the flavour of the chilli coming through nicely. Great product.
