XXXX is my jam. When my local grocer suddenly stopped carrying it I discovered that you can order direct from Melindas, and even better for the velocity at which I use it, by the case!
The Ghost Pepper didn't move my needle, but now you've got me wanting to try it again. Imma gonna throw a bottle in to my next order.
If the regular ghost pepper sauce ain't your jam, try the "wing sauce" variety.
If you're good with vinegar-y sauces, this one is killer.
Great "twang" upfront, with solid heat hitting on the backend.
Gracias on the recommendation. We actually do a batch of wings every couple of weeks or so, and while we prep them with nothing more than crushed black pepper, I get some swanky blue cheese dressing and mix in some XXXX in a bowl for dipping. I'll try and give the ghost pepper wing sauce a shot.
I think you'll enjoy it.
While I like the regular ghost pepper sauce, I do feel the XXXX is a better overall sauce.
The wing variation of the ghost pepper, I feel, is a great everyday sauce
I pour it on pizza/wings/etc like it's Tapatio.
I am intrigued.
Is there actual ghost pepper flavor or just the ghost pepper heat?

Intrigued as well.
No mention of ghost pepper in the ingredients list.

Actually, the ingredients list does list ghost peppers. It has a fairly complex flavor, and to be honest, I am not sure how much of it is attributable to the ghost peppers. In fact, I didn't realize it had ghost peppers in it, at first.
I've been enjoying a Korean spicy hot sauce made by Samyang, the Buldak 2X. I found it at first as a flavor of their ramen, then learned from the shopkeeper where I bought it that I can buy the sauce by the bottle. Score!
There is nothing natural about it from what I can tell, I am sure it is packed with chemicals and preservatives but oh my word it will kick your butt if you are not careful. I can't get enough of the flavor, think Korean BBQ chicken, and the 'kick you in your teeth' heat is a bonus in my opinion.

I bet that's delicious. I love this stuff:
I thin it out a little with some water and use it as salad dressing.
Those Herdez folks knows what's up when it comes to flavorful and spicy sauces.
Interesting, well to me at least, side point. I used to work for a geolocation data gathering company years ago. One of their marketing folks called us back then asking for some of the data we compile. I didn't know much about them then. When we closed the deal, they sent us some samples and coupons. Everything I tried was great, and we've been buying it ever since when it is available near us.

There's hundreds of hot sauces out there. I wish I could try them all but I can't and I won't.
This is my favorite.

El Yucateco is the best. I've tried every variety I can find locally, which is a lot. Perfect heat. Plenty of it but it's not overpowering.
