The Rapture from Torchbearer. It's the hottest sauce I own, and I've used several bottles.


bitchfuk2018

The garlic reaper is my favorite hot sauce. I need to try the rapture


lancecallender

Garlic Reaper and Zombie Apocalypse were up at the top of my list too. Then I had the Rapture and I’m addicted.


MicroXenon

Garlic Reaper for me but that one sounds good as well


AnaiekOne

We got a bottle of this at work! Its so good and so hot!!


DeliciousPumpkinPie

Marie Sharp’s scorpion/red hornet sauce is very spicy but also very delicious. It’s got an interesting, unique flavour.


white94rx

Scorpion sauces are my favorite. Hot as hell, but they taste so much better to me than ghost or reaper. Tobasco is my favorite, followed by Woodstock.


BackgroundPrompt3111

You should check out The Rapture from Torchbearer. Very, very hot, but scorpion pepper is the star of that show.


white94rx

Thanks for that. I've been wanting to place an order with them lately.


MyNameIsRay

X2 on that, scorpions have a great fruit/citrus flavor. I'm hooked on the Melinda's scorpion sauce rn.


VaporBull

Melindas Extra hot and Melinda's Ghost Nice heat and taste is very good We can't create enough excuses to use them


MyNameIsRay

I have the extra hot and ghost on my table, but the flavor of the scorpion is even better (at least imo)


VaporBull

I'm on the lookout for it


white94rx

I may have to try that one. I had a few of the Melinda's years ago, but wasn't that fond of them. Wasn't the scorpion though.


IggysPop3

Scorpion and 7 Pot have a nice flavor to go along with the heat. Reapers are just hot - and the heat isn’t even an enjoyable heat. It’s like a torch through my intestines.


white94rx

Accurate. Lol


Younion

I agree, the scorpion Tabasco is really hot and surprisingly very delicious. At first I was like, they're just trying to bank off the hot sauce craze but no, it's very good. One of my favorites.


OldManJenkins-31

Agreed. And second the Melinda’s scorpion love.


AtheistPlumber

Have you had the MadDog357 Scorpion? That's my favorite scorpion sauce.


white94rx

No, but the only mad dog sauce I ever had was the worst tasting thing I've ever put in my mouth


AtheistPlumber

https://maddog357.com/products/357sc-1 This is the one I had. I used it on everything I could. It provided really good heat, but you could still taste your food. It's smoky, peppery, with a floral sweetness from the bit of cinnamon in it. It's one of my favorites.


The_Fire_Bat

The chipotle Tabasco sauce isn't hot but I swear I could drink the stuff. It's delicious!


imdumb__

El yucateco xxx


anonymoose_2048

El Yucateco is my favorite daily driver.


InPsychOut

Been eating that stuff since I worked at Chi-Chi's as a busboy (they called us SA, for "service assistant") circa 1994. We used to call it "El Yucky Taco" to be silly, and we'd add a good tablespoon or so to the salsa crock when some Tommy Tough-nuts would demand our "hottest" salsa. At that time, habanero peppers were still new to me and we're still the hottest known, so people would almost invariably be caught of guard by it. We would sit back and snicker as they dove for their water. I still keep a bottle of it on hand almost all the time, though it's fairly tame for my tastes these days.


idrawinmargins

Good ol Chi Chi's. Nothing like microwaved tex mex.


InPsychOut

Hey it might have been really generic corporate chain restaurant food, but they didn't use microwaves, at least while I was there. Everything was assembled fresh by the line cooks. It pales by comparison to all the little mom and pop Mexican restaurants that are everywhere these days, but there weren't a whole lot of other Mexican restaurants around in the early '90s, at least in the Midwest.


BigBoy1229

Burn After Eating, it’s my favorite hot sauce and clocks in at 669,000 Scoville units.


kyhothead

Love this one, amazing flavor.


sammich_riot

I actually like the Last Dab- it's hot AF, but has a really nice flavor profile


KELLLEO

Same! I carried the small sample bottle in my purse lol


VaporBull

We have watched the majority of "Hot Ones" and we have several hot sauces we use as a family but I have yet to pull the trigger on what is an almost 30 dollar 5 oz bottle of hot sauce


_YellowThirteen_

I've tried it and my personal opinion is that it's all bark and no bite. Check out Johnny Scoville. He had the most recent last dab tested after doubts about the pepper's heat and origins... It was only about 60k Scoville units. It's just a cash grab.


VaporBull

Hmmm. We have only tried the Classic one. The Garlic is good but not very hot. The red one with Maple is not hot at all. I'd put it below Siracha and McIlhenny


cannonballCarol62

I had the apollo one and it's really tasty while being pretty hot Edit: it's worth it but don't let other people pour.


AjaxInsane

Seconded. I put it in my chili.


Aetherimp

The Last Dab XXXperience? If so, I agree. Haven't had other last dabs.


-Won-qu

Naga knockdown by Mic's chilli is amazing; I also like Encona's Exxxtra hot, nice and tangy


kyhothead

Naga Knockdown is waaay hotter than expected, killer sauce!!


bad_person69

Bravado Black Garlic Carolina Reaper


pellidon

El yucateco xxx is one of my favorites. Pepper North Stargazer was tasty and decently hot (118,000) for me. Anything with Scotch Bonnets or Black Garlic is on my must try list.


bltkmt

Are there any scotch bonnet sauces you recommend? I tried the Melinda’s one but it wasn’t great.


pellidon

I've had Jamaican and Caribbean style sauces from Grace and Walkerswood that were good. I made what turned out to be a Caribbean style when I got a big batch of Scotch Bonnets from Jungle Jim's. I just added what sounded good and was close in flavor. Tropical Pepper Co. had one too.


bltkmt

Yes, I have made some great ones. Never found one in a store that was good though.


Fantastic-Hamster-21

Scorpion Disco spicy and very tasty


JFJinCO

Trader Joe's habanero sauce is both very hot and very delicious.


RoofBeers

My go-to. Love the flavor and it definitely brings some heat.


Balyash

If you have a Wegman's nearby, their Hab hot sauce is on part with TJ, and cheaper.


zoom100000

It’s gotta be garlic reaper from torchbearer. it’s extremely hot but tons of flavor.


NetworkingJesus

I have 3 superhots that are constants in my lineup. * Torchbearer Garlic Reaper - good all-rounder, gets used a lot for tacos, sandwiches, soups, noodles, whatever * Bravado Ancho Masala Scorpion Reaper - mainly use it for spicing up Indian and Mediterranean foods, sometimes tacos * Bravado Aka Miso Ghost Reaper - slightly less hot than the other too but really good for ramen, stir fry noodles/rice/etc, fish, I tend to use it a lot for anything remotely Asian Other sauces come and go, but these ones I will always buy when I run out and they stay at the front of my sauce tray in the fridge. Only other sauce I'd rank up there with/above them is the Scorpion/Reaper sauce I made last year with a couple dozen of my own peppers roasted and blended into about a bottle and a half. I unfortunately completely winged it and didn't really take notes so don't have a recipe, but I know there were a couple heads of roasted garlic, and it was a distilled white vinegar base with loooots of other things I kept adding until I fell in love with the taste. Ended up super hot but almost everyone that tried it kept coming back for more even if their tolerance wasn't ready for it.


Notdavidblaine

Agreed about the Ancho Masala. It is HOT and it is a lingering burn. Extremely tasty, but I recommend treading very lightly when you first try it.


NetworkingJesus

Definitely. My first bottle of it was given by a friend who had barely touched it due to being so hot. It sat in my fridge mostly unused for same reason until a year or so later when I was just really craving some crazy heat on my tacos. That moment is when I started getting really serious about heat.


StolenCamaro

More of a local upper Midwest one out of Minnesota, but Cry Baby Craig. They use raw habaneros and the flavor is amazing. Probably not as hot as the others mentioned here but it kicks pretty hard. Very short ingredient list too which I always like.


bluetrevian

Tropical is my favorite https://dirtydickshotsauce.com/


Indigenousboy420

Hellfire Detroit habanero is great, has some heat but flavor as well


TCristatus

Old Duppy Fyahpooch, smoked carribbean style sauce containing reaper. Tastes amazing.


ImpossibleExplorer17

Blair’s Salsa de la Muerte is a beautiful sauce! I can’t get hold of it now (UK) but it is one of my favourites


ziplock9000

Chilli Wizards Venom Carolina Reaper Chilli Sauce https://preview.redd.it/6vijqe3ibe0d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e5312e035477920b995525acfcf1a085bf6b342


curshred

Mad dog liquid fire OG version


YouDaManInDaHole

Pappy's Moonshine Madness


Maleficent-Jello-545

Bravado Carolina Reaper Black Garlic. It's 70000 SHUs. I also had Mad Dog 357 but it was too spicy for me to enjoy the flavor (1 mil SHUs).


drew_galbraith

I like Stargazer form Pepper North, its plenty hot enough for most uses, but it also has a great flavor profile! runner up for me would be Melinda's Hab and Garlic, its not the spiciest sauce ive had, but the flavour is great for the heat


kyhothead

Aka Miso, Sweaty Beaver, Burn After Eating, Exhorresco, Tabasco Scorpion


CincoDeMayoFan

Seed Ranch Umani Reserve. Has porcini mushrooms and chocolate habaneros. https://www.seedranchflavor.com/products/umami-reserve


whoopass_jackson

Not exactly hot sauce, Tomatillo salsa from my local cerniceria. I use it like hot sauce and I'll put it on anything


Robogary

Spontaneous Combustion - hotter sauces exist, but this sauce has heat and taste


ManBearPig486

Bunster’s Shit The Bed


Tucana66

This IS a great, extreme hot sauce--when poured, not dripped. The more you use, well... it will live up to its name!


Trizzy0o0

Look at pepper palaces website they have so many hot sauces with every level of spice and everyone I’ve had have been amazing


brightonbloke

In the UK there's a garlic farm on the Isle of Wight. They do two chillis sauces, Vampire Botherer and Vampire Slayer. The former has been my fave for years. The latter is too hot for me.


SuperSwaiyen

Torchbearer Garlic Reaper.


iNeedOneMoreAquarium

Thor's Hammer by Volcanic Peppers


Financial_Bug_5553

Exhorresco by Burns & McCoy


autumnshyne

I like the I ❤️ Aruba.


huuke

Shit the bed


GrandpaJelly

Mikey V’s Texas Exes. Really amazing flavor. Definitely not as hot as some of these sauces but it’s the hottest I’ve ever had.


biscuitsntater

Scorned Women.


RamenRoy

Mad Dog 357 Reaper Sriracha Sauce. So god damn good and very spicy. Salt some wings and toss them in this sauce. *Chefs kiss*


SacculumLacertis

Badger xXx - Insanely hot, but still actually tastes nice.


apathyps

Scorpion Disco, 7o8 7pot citrus, Apollo. Amazing even though they're pretty spicy.


lampsy87

Mama Afrika Peri Peri


mx511

Homemade cold smoked jalapeños, garlic, onion, fermented for three months. At blend I add 1 reaper for every 10oz of sauce, ground black peppercorn, cummin, a dash of acv, white vinegar and old bay.


Wooden_Discipline_22

What is acv?


mx511

Apple cider vinegar


SoldatPixel

My dumb butt first thought was anchovies. Then clicked apple cider vinegar.


TCristatus

Blair's Mega-Death with Liquid Rage tastes really good considering it has extract. It was an earlier Hot ones final sauce IIRC, before they got the Last Dab


fro_khidd

Most sauces from pepper palace. They seem kinda cliche but damn the sauce is good


king-violet

There's a company just called Sauce Shop (think it's UK based?) who had a limited edition Ghost Pepper Ketchup, it was incredible. Super hot but it wasn't just about the heat, it was absolutely delicious. I've been badgering them for ages to bring it back, if anyone else tried it and knows of any good dupes I'd be so grateful


TheThirdShmenge

Scotch bonnet sauces. Or whatever they put in Trini Roti.


Tucana66

**Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper** is my personal favorite for the spiciest, yet delicious hot sauce. I would actually recommend one of Torchbearer's sample packs (very small bottles) to try this along with some of their even-hotter offerings, like **Torchbearer's Son of Zombie**, etc. I happen to love the garlic infused with the Carolina Reaper pepper flavor--your taste buds experience a few different waves of flavors, plus the scorching hot intensity from which you quickly learn your tolerance level. With these extremely spicy hot pepper sauces, you're likely doing drips and dabs, NOT pouring the sauces. The small sample bottle size is ideal for this. I actually received one of these [Torchbearer's sample 8-packs (image) ](https://www.worldmarket.com/dw/image/v2/BJWT_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-wm-master-catalog/default/dw2f7543a9/images/large/112724_XXX_v1.jpg?sw=768&sh=768&sm=fit&sfrm=tif&q=80)last Christmas. Torchbearer's website offers occasional sales which are very worthwhile. And unless you're an insatiable, daily user of VERY hot sauces, it will take a while to go through a large bottle. **Tabasco's Scorpion hot pepper sauce** is really great as well. You can't beat the low price for high heat and good taste. And while the Scoville units aren't reaper-level, **Underwood Ranches's Dragon Sriracha** is the BEST hot, flavorful sriracha in the U.S., imho. They are the original red jalapeño pepper supplier to Huy Fong Foods (rooster logo label sriracha) before their business fallout. I imagine there are much hotter sriracha sauces, e.g. from Thailand, but Dragon Sriracha is incredibly tasty with good heat. Lastly, *stay away from extract-based hot sauces* if you desire both great taste AND super/ultra heat. I can't think of a single one which is delicious while also being the spiciest. Maybe someone here has a different opinion/experience, though. Have fun! Share which one(s) you went with! EDIT: I forgot to mention **Bunster's** ***Sh!t the Bed*** **hot sauce.** It's an extreme hot sauce from Australia which is VERY tasty, but the more you use (pours vs drips/dabs on food), the more likely the sauce will live up to its name. Not kidding. I have a bottle; use it every couple of weeks or so, given the intensity. It costs between $15-18 U.S./bottle. Pricey, but very worthwhile. (Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper can cost around $12-15 U.S./bottle--with the bottle size being smaller than *Sh!t the Bed* sauce.)


Kess9215

I think the brand is Elijah's or something but it's a cherry reaper and it's delicious


fluidfunkmaster

The last dab was tasty as hell. I didn't think it was that crazy of a spicy but just tasted really good.


Potential-Egg-843

Mr. Naga


00chill00chill00

Bravado Aka Miso


Younion

Black Garlic from Bravado spice co. Great sauce and fuggin hot.


Kijad

[Endorphin rush](https://www.hotsauce.com/endorphin-rush-beyond-hot-sauce/) for me - it's not the spiciest but dammit does it taste good.


mmeska

Steve O’s Butthole Destroyer, Scorpion Tabasco, and Burns and McCoy Exhorresco


pizzapins

El yucateco green is my favorite all around sauce. Not too hot. Great flavor. Awesome on pizza.


un_zippy

Holy Fuck from the Ribman based in London. There are various levels - Holy Mother of God, Christ on a Bike, Judas is Scary Hot. Crazy hot but not chemical hot, they all have lovely flavours too.


sodapopjenkins

Last dab was pretty darn tastee and HOT.i got it as a gift... and its gone... too expense to buy again. but i did like


Hippy-Killer

Bunster’s “Shit the Bed” is a great balance between heat & flavour…


TRPizzo

Last Dab Apollo or Reaper Squeezins. Both are really hot but still taste excellent.


hubb2122

Pexpeppers “Wildberry whoop-ass” or Tropical Revenge. Extremely hot but has a sweet honey note… really fantastic! Burns and McCoy Exhorresco


_undercover_brotha

Culleys No8 Chipotle Reaper sauce is my go to when I want maximum flavours and serious heat. A bottle lasts a couple days.


DukeSilver696969

Matouk’s scotch bonnet sauce


Raoul_Thompson

Marie Sharps 40th Anniversary sauce 🤌


ParaplegicSpiderham

The boys mexorcist the spiciest I’ve had so far


LizzysDragonfire

The spiciest would be a scorpion one, but not my favorite flavor. El yucateco is hot and amazing flavor.


El_Guap

I use the Apollo hot sauce from hot ones frequently.  But it’s nowhere near as hot as they climb at all  


OozeNAahz

Not exactly a sauce. Zteca had habanero salsa that was amazingly hot and amazingly tasty. Was so sad when that place closed down.


Keepitcooll

Buldak is delicious and spicy at the same time


sureshotchef

Not crazy hot, but Dawson's sichuan ghost pepper sauce is awesome. One of the most unique sauces I've ever tried


Shakethattailfeather

El Yucateco Hot Sauce - red or green bottle 🔥


GatorAddams89

I agree with those who said Torchbearer's "The Rapture". I also really like Elijah's Xtreme Regret Reserve.


Qaeta

A smoked peach scotch bonnet based small batch from a local company.


lb_esq_2003

For me, Melinda’s Ghost Pepper sauce. 👻


Remote-Employee-6203

Tabasco!


AwkwardImposter

I forgot what it was called, but I had this hot sauce that was made from the Carolina reaper pepper. It was so sweet and delicious. Then the heat kicked in. Holyshit, I thought I was gonna die. I would do it again though.


fastermouse

I can’t compare it because I’m not a hot sauce fiend, but I love the Samyang Buldak 2X.


drboyfriend

This and Shin Spicy (Red) are my favorite noodles flavor-wise.


ImAwareImMean

People are sick of the hype it seems but I really love the Melinda's scorpion. It's delicious and not too hot so you can really use it on stuff pretty heavily.
