Favorite Hot Sauce.... GO!

I was wondering what the first ingredient is in El Yucateco and found this:
The regular red one:

The XXXtra hot:

The extra hot is just more pepper than water, and onion. No onion in the regular. Interesting.

I discovered these while the wife and I are down here in 'The Valley' of Texas. Quite flavorful and the guacamole one has just the right amount of burn to let you know it's there without ruining the flavor.
I'm sure they are available elsewhere although I've never seen them before. I recommend you give them a try.

El Yucateco Chile Habanero...red and green. I like hot but not 'gonna die' hot and they're both perfect.
i love all the El Yucateco, especially Black.

I've been making my own hot sauces the last two year, and my serrano is my all time favorite. I made a straight Trinidad Scorpion this year. it warms the innards.

I always have plain old Louisiana for when I make the gumbo or wings.
 
I can't stand sauces that are hot for the sake of being hot

Likewise. It used to be like that here, but recipes and availability in the UK have improved dramatically over recent years, especially with the arrival of the latest chilli varieties. Proper heat and taste. These are some in my 'rotation':

One nearly done and two ready to go:


Of course there has to be an honorary mention, and I found this one on a recent holiday in the South-West USA which proves that the original isn't being left behind - Tabasco Scorpion:

I would have sworn I'd posted in this thread already.

One of my favorites is Arizona Gunslinger. I discovered it at the Tucson Truck Terminal, where they had it as the table sauce in their restaurant. It's a little thicker than a typical sauce, and has a unique savory flavor.

It looks like the company has branched out with a second brand of organic sauces as well.
