REALLY Hot Chilli Sauce?

I wish there was some legislation as to what can be classed as hot or very hot. So many times it's been an absolute lie. Nice purchase Rob, I really like the Habanero crisps as they are hot but also quite sweet.
 
I'm a fan of Who Dares Burns - not the hottest by any means, but a nice flavour to it.

Quite enjoyed Dave's Insanity for a while - especially when Tesco was stocking it for ~£3-£4.
 
I did not enjoy insanity sauce, thought it had quite a rank flavor really. Never found a dish it could be used in.
 
My brother-in-law claims he doesn't get affected by hot sauces so I want to get him the hottest one I can for Christmas. Any recommendations?

This is about the hottest sauce you can get. Its equivelent of eating freash Nagas at around 1million scovils.

Thats if you are evil.
That would just be pure pain.

For comparison

Jalapenos are about 7000 scovilles
Scotch bonnets around 250,000 scovilles
Ghost chilli 1,250,000 scoviilles

The one i mention above is the hottest. Trinidad Scorpion is the hottest chilli in the world.
 
Which is the chili sauce? also the hottest chili in the world is pretty meaningless.

They are all around 1.25million scovilles and all come from basically the same chili. The chances are that it is also a one off chilli rather than the whole crop.
Ontop of that, the hottest chilli doesn't mean its the hottest sauce due to concentration.
 
Just tried Who Dares Burns Naga Bhut Jolokia sauce, after being a fan of the standard Who Dares Burns for some years.

A bit underwhelmed with it, to be honest. Not all that hot at all. A different flavour to standard WDB, which isn't necessarily bad, but it just seems like a spicy dipping sauce

has anyone here actually tried this sauce? i have been given a bottle by the fiance and want a bit of a heads up or an idea of its pain:taste ratio....

Also got a hot snack mix of some ghost pepper pork scratchings and some naga peanuts. quite tasty but funny to pass around the office and watch the reactions....
 
Meh, I am not sure there will be much taste!

I love the rib man's sauces, my latest order seems to be lost in the post! Outstanding flavour.

It contains extract so the pain is going to be pretty bum clenchingly good, but it may also ruin the flavour slightly if they've used too much.
 
Anyone know a good sauce that either doesn't contain vinegar or you can't taste the vinegar in it? I had a good ghost chili sauce on a burger while out the other day and it was really hot, but also had a nice taste to it. I've found most normal store bought hot sauces just use the vinegar to give it a bit of a tang, no real heat or spice to it.

also, anyone tried :Blair's Q Heat Collection Habanero Mango / Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper? they any good?

Are you talking Supermarket sauces? Tabasco and Nandos etc? They're all pretty disappointing.

I'd recommend Who Dares Burns for a first proper hot sauce. Not the hottest, but miles more potent than the supermarket ones and a nice flavour. Not a vinegary taste at all.

I've had other hot sauces, mainly when out so I have no idea what they actually were and there's nothing in shops near me that comes anywere close.
I like hot/spicy food so was going to order online, I just didn't want to order something that was just as disappointing as the supermarket junk.

Cambridge Chilli sauce Co Trinidad scorpion. It's not the hottest sauce (although it's extremely hot, really, very very hot indeed). It's probably one of the hottest sauces with no added capsicum.

It's 25% scorpion but about 50% smoked red pepper which gives it a really deep smoky flavour (if you can get past the heat)

Sadly though the last batch is sold out (although I know a couple of places offline where it may still be available), but they expect another batch in July.
 
Asda are stocking Who Dares Burns 2nd Assault for £3.98

Bought some yesterday. I'm a big fan of the original WDB, so it will be interesting to try the 2nd Assault version. I understand it's somewhat hotter.

Will be interesting to see how long Asda stick with it. Tesco were selling Dave's Insanity (and the Ghost version) for a while, but stopped a couple of years ago - I heard somewhere (this thread?) that it was due to customer complaints (people just aren't expecting such extreme heat, I guess)
 
This is exactly why I wish a sauce had to state it's Scoville rating.

It's expensive, it's about £150 a go. And you really need far more than just one test. so isn't really feasible for small producers. Although you candy find scoville ratings for many sauces online, how accurate these are, is up fir debate as every batch will be different.

Some guy says assault is 95,000 and 2nd assault is 200,000
