Here lies Queen Majesty Scotch Bonnet and Ginger –

8.2/10

I met this sauce for the first time on the Heathotsauce website. This week was a bit busy for me. My company opened up a new collection site, so there was a large influx of people. Which is okay, it keeps me a little bit more lively. As we all know, I look forward to having my breakfast burritos as a side dish to my hot sauces. It’s both a gift and a curse when a sauce is really good. On one hand, it makes me a happy fat little man, but on the other hand, I devour it within a blink of an eye and I get depressed when it disappears. This is one of those sauces where you can just sit and enjoy it, basking in it’s goodness. While I dealt with more customer service, I had something to look forward to when I pried my eyes open in the morning. Let’s get into the review!

REVIEW: Ginger is an ingredient that is easily able to be picked out when tasting these sauces. It usually affects my sniffer tunnels right away even upon the initial aroma detection inhale. This one definitely gave me a little tingle before the scotch bonnet pepper taste popped up to say hello. When I saw there are habanero peppers also in this sauce, I was a bit concerned that the floral hints from that would overtake the flavor of the bonnets, but there was a surprising lack of habanero flavor overall. Which isn’t a bad thing at all! I think they helped contribute to the heat, but I mostly got the fruity bite. The heat levels are near the middle of medium, maybe leaning towards lower. I didn’t really taste much lemon juice, but I think perhaps it just mixed in well with everything together. The bell pepper is pretty prominent, and the vinegar wasn’t too strong, despite the fact it’s the first ingredient listed. It’s obvious why this one is a fan favorite. It’s well-rounded and just agreeable. Rest in Peace, Spicy Prince

    I keep forgetting I have an unopened bottle of this that I need to try
    Everyone says it’s amazing
    Guess I’ll need to open it up right away

    This is not the first time I’ve seen one of these posts and assumed that the sauce was being discontinued.

    Definitely not one of my favorites by them. I did enjoy the red habenero and coffee one.

    10/10 from me. I love scotch bonnets too much I guess. It’s not a sauce that goes on everything, but when you find a match it’s amazing.

    It’s a good combination that works. I like the ginger. Works well with stews, eggs, or grilled chicken. I love Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauces. It makes for a killer sauce.

    I think this is a great sauce. Good heat, excellent flavor. My only knock against it is that great flavor is pretty specific so I personally find the uses on this sauce more narrow than some others but thay might not be a fair criticism.

    Scotch bonnet may be the best hot sauce pepper out there IMO

  8. Just had this like 5min ago on some pad krapao. Ginger is great but it could use a touch more heat.

    I absolutely love this sauce on grilled salmon.

    I was a little disappointed overall in this one. Found the ginger to be the only element that lingers. That said it is my go-to with shrimp

    Absolutely LOVE the Queen Majesty line. The jalapeño tequila lime isn’t hot at all but damn is it tasty. Doesn’t last 2 weeks in our house.

    Across the board, Queen’s Majesty probably puts out the most consistently good hot sauces on the market. Love their Cocoa Ghost.
