My main man Scotty B was generous enough to send me 3 HUGE bottles of hot sauce the other day. Being used to 5 ounce “woozies” , these 12 ounce bottles seem GIANT.

Now, Scotty B has a knack for making some of the hottest all-natural sauces I have ever tried. These rival CaJohns hottest sauce in the vicious heat department.

I was already a fan of DEVIL’S DROOL, a hot, freak’n HOT vinegar based “southern-style” hot sauce. Think of a Louisiana-style sauce on steroid. This has a vicious heat that hits fast and sticks around. I loaded up a tortilla chip and this had me coughing a bit. Scotty said something about this being ‘re-tooled” and it does seem to have a more consistent viscosity and color but it still lives up to it’s moniker of a bodily fluid of Satan. Great, great sauce.

Heat 9/10
Taste 8/10

The other red sauce is a new one, as far as I know called RED RAGE. This is a thicker sauce but also with a heaping helping of red habaneros. The vinegar is farther down the ingredient list and it’s not as noticeable. This is just a great all-around VERY HOT all-natural sauce. It’s thickness would make it a natural to cling to all sort of foods and in the generous 12 ounce bottle I’m sure all the hard core chileheads who like to cover all their food with fire will have a ball with this sauce, Still, it doesn’t kick my ass as much as DEVIL’S DROOL but it’s still quite hot.

The oddball here was GREEN NIRVANA, a medium hot ( says so right on the label!) green sauce that is based on jalapeno and serrano chiles. This sauce has a nice balance with undertones of tomatoes and an “earthy” flavor that I wasn’t crazy about at first but has grown on me since. I think I’d like to try this one as a marinade and basting sauce for barbequed chicken.

Heat 4/10
Taste 6/10
