Hot sauce recommendation

Probably the best do-everything hot sauce I have come across yet:

My current trial sauce. Not bad, not the best, give it a 7/10. Nowhere near as hot as the bottle would lead you to believe.

@Chdamn used it in the bbq sauce last year. It was fantastic. I bought a bottle. When it arrived, I tried it. Dripped a few drops on my finger and tasted it.
Big mistake.

I did the same when I first saw it in a restaurant. It’s why I bought it to add to the bbq sauce.

Most hot sauces you have to add so much to get heat it changes the flavor of the sauce. With this stuff just one tsp in a gallon of sauce raises the heat level pretty good.

I once grew some Trinidad Scorpions and some Ghost Peppers too (at the time everyone said they were the hottest) but the Scorps were MURDER compared toe the Ghosts!
 
I keep Cholula here. Excellent flavor and make your forehead slowly sweat without being ignorantly hot.

I’ve been using the green version a lot. A Mexican restaurant I eat lunch at has both the red and green. I’m starting to like the red better.

I am interested in recommendations for good hot (spicy) sauce.
Not the burn your brain and toes stuff that screws up your sight for weeks and makes you dread taking a dump.

We have the typical tobacco, Asian chili, and a green chili sauce. Also have some habanero, jalapeño, etc. peppers.

any recommendation?

Red hot. All the way. Others do not agree with me for some reason. But red hot all night long
 
Our everyday stuff is the wood top cholula stuff. My absolute favorite is from el jefecito Mexican joint in Durham. It comes in a cup about the size of your fingernail.

Use more than a cup and you'll be completely flushed out with fire the next day. It's soooo good though, i always ask for an extra cup to take home with me.

I’d love to have a version with less of what I assume is cayenne (acute spot heat), and more habanero (overall warmth).

They make a version with a black label too, not as much heat.
As someone else said, I found some at Costco at 14 for 2 bottles.
They also make a Truffle Mayo, great stuff, used it for dipping sauce yesterday on some pan fried Lion Mane mushroom slices.
 
I like some Frank's red hot wing sauce
Mostly I stick with classic Texas Pete or Tabasco. I don't handle the hot stuff like I used to. One thing I do enjoy that is kinda hot sauce is Mike's Hot Honey. Makes a nice finish glaze on some porkchops or a drizzle on a sausage and egg biscuit in the morning.
 
If you guys haven't checked these, every one that I've tried was very good and had it's own merits, but the quality was there in all of their offerings. We got a sampling of their wares as part of an company event. This is the dude that bred the Carolina Reaper varietals...

I ordered a mix pepper lot from the link provided below. I filled gallon jugs with whole garlic, peppercorns and apple cider vinegar and added 3 cups seeded peppers wholeish.
You can make any vinegar based dressing, sauce, dip, etc with this as a base. The vinegar straight will take your breath and warm the souls of ancestors long passed. The flavor is exceptional unlike many heat foods. $100 peppers shipped filled 4 gallons and I harvested the seeds so win/win.

Franks, Texas Pete, and Tobasco are some decent, basic hot sauces. If you want just a touch of heat with a good peppery flavor, you can't really go wrong with them.

I haven't tried Mike's Hot Honey. Where do you get it at? And in the stores, is it in the hot sauce area or the honey area?

Not sure where the Mike's hot honey is in the stores. I've just ordered it on the interwebs. I'm gonna be stuck in wally world here in just a bit ill see where it's located if they have it and let you know honey aisle or hot sauce aisle. I got into the hot honey from grabbing the hot honey chicken biscuits at biscuitville.

Detoured by the Florence Buccees on the way back from MB this past weekend. Picked up the two above. The peach habanero isn't really hot at all to me. The taco reaper has just enough kick to make it interesting but nowhere near as hot as the homemade reaper sauces I make. Good flavor and spice without being nuclear.

I can't even imagine the Project X new pepper. As tempted as I am, I know I would just taste it, regret it, then the rest would just sit there. I watched a youtube video last night from Ed where he made hot sauce from Project X peppers....yikes

Wally world has the Mike's Hot Honey and they have a extra hot version as well. And it's located with all the other honey products not with the sauces.
 
For cooking, I like the Huy Fong chili paste. Also found they now sell chipotles in adobo in a resealable glass jar, which is amazing for cooking as well if, like me, your recipes tend to call for less than a whole container of the stuff.

For eating, I usually just go with Tabasco or Crystal when my own stuff runs out.

I haven't tried this one yet. But the El Yucateco Black Label Reserve

Been through a couple bottles of this stuff lately. Learned of it in this thread. Even the girlfriend likes it, which is literally impossible.
Had tried other products by them and liked them.

Black has less heat than the green habenero. But man the flavor is unique. And still plenty of that heat I feel in my scalp, lol.
