Hi gang! Who else likes Hot Sauce?
This being my first review I'll start off with a pleasent sauce that I've gotten into recently, (not hot sauces in general mind you but this one in particular).
Dave's Gourmet Ghost Pepper Sauce.
Ghost peppers, aka Naga or Bhut Jolokia peppers are rated around 1,000,000 scoville units. Standard Tobasco is rated at 2,500 to 5,000 scovilles for reference. So there's a steep uptick in heat. Even though the sauce is not rated at the full 1,000,000 (cursory research yields 90,000+ scoville depending on the source) this is not a beginner sauce.
I give Dave's Ghost Pepper Sauce a solid 5 out of 5 scovilles (yeah that's my rating system yo!) mostly due to its smooth flavor. It's not a vinegar based sauce which I really like so its base is vegetable oil and garlic paste by ingredient lable. The heat comes on in a nice smooth up swing. The heat is not very fast but it gets there and builds for quite a while. The after heat can be fairly strong too so keep that in mind, especially if you make the mistake of getting too much on your chops. I feel it's a great additive for things where garlic is normally employed (so it's excellent on pizza and spaghetti and meatballs etc), only take a few drops mixed in too to blow most people's jaws off.
Over all I highly recommend this sauce. The tag line is "So hot it's spooky" and they ain't lyin'.
