    How’s your spice tolerance? Because that Tabasco you got is not for the weak it’s extremely spicy

  2. Fuzzy_Welcome8348

    I think these r great to start off with

  3. cayers02

    Queen Majesty is great! I also really love Sauce Leopard, for a variety of heat and flavors. Also special shout out to Cry Baby Greg’s, my go to.

  4. Personal_Toe_2136

    You done good. 

    Advise you add Marie Sharps (any heat level)

  6. Cookinghist

    Nope just Tabasco Scorpion. You’ve hit the peak. (Just kidding, although I love it)

    I’ve gotten in the habit of grabbing a few bottles from local producers at farmers markets and the like. I got a cherry bomb pepper sauce in Ohio that was not particularly spicy, but SO flavorful. Went through it in a week or two just from putting it on everything.

    Now I’m back to just having Scorpion and a homemade ghost chili sauce… I need to restock…

  7. Glittering_Ocelot_67

    That Aardvark and Queen Majesty are both in my top few favorites still 👍🏻

  8. good_oleboi

    I like El Yucateco Habanero. Its the black one with a black label

  9. BuoyantEntropy

    Huichol is a great mexican style that is worth trying

    OG Tabasco is an essential, I dismissed it for a long time but it is great and super versatile, often the perfect hot sauce

    Also highly recommend making your own fermented hot sauce, it’s ridiculously easy just takes some time to ferment

    Diving into what is available from local providers, at farmers markets can yield great finds

  11. BigDisarray

    Try some Belizean Heat! Delicious, spicy, economical.

  12. Alternative-Tone6631

    that queen majesty is a fave of mine.
    And i probably have 50 different bottles right now.

  13. FrankieSaysPewPew

    The Grundle Thumper is good stuff. You in Colorado?

  15. NOMursE

    Murder Hornet Black Label is fantastic. It’s one of the bottles always feel bad about finishing.

  16. Anything_Normal

    That Aardvark sauce is pretty dope. Really been wanting to try the tobasco scorpion. Others look cool as wrll

  17. sukibean13

    Merman’s revenge if you can find it locally.

  18. Emotion-Internal

    ya NEED some Yellow Bird hot sauce – any of them

  19. spaghetti_bender666

    Secret Aardvark is my personal favorite.

  21. nickynick92

    Soothsayer, Dawson’s, Danger Berry, and Chile Lengua De Fuego

  22. Slobound76

    The group won’t let me upload a pic but google “Professor Phardtpounders Colon Cleanser”
    My other half got me a bottle for Xmas as a stocking stuffer gag gift and it’s actually turned out to be my new favorite hot sauce. It’s habanero based and has the best damn flavor with a decent kick. Can’t get enough of it! 🙂

  24. sha1shroom

    Great lineup there.

    Other suggestions: Bravado Aka Miso, Torchbearer Garlic Reaper, Pepper Palace Ghostly Garlic, Marie Sharp’s Fiery Hot Habanero, El Yucateco XXXtra Hot, Oak City Reaper Madness

  26. AlienFromEglin

    Had a Belizean friend introduce me to Marie Sharp’s. It smacks, I recommend for sure. 

    I also like Dave’s Gourmet insanity sauce for soups, stews, and ramen. The capsaicin extract one. Tastes like shit on its own, but a few drops into a bowl will make it spicy af without impacting the flavor. 

  27. Hopalicious

    Heartbeat hot sauce pineapple habanero is amazing. It’s worth a purchase

  29. doodoo_pie

    Love secret aardvark, great tomato flavor and heat.

  30. itsalegacy

    Iguana Radioactive is hands down my favorite sauce. Hot enough, kinda salty. Goes so well with so many things.

  31. UpperSupport9

    Paulman acre, j’s small batch, ring of fire, mago. All have very different flavor. Paulman acre is prob my fav!

  32. Bourrrrrrbon

    Grundle Thumper and the Queen’s Majesty are a couple of my favorites

  33. RadicalChile

    Anything by Marie Sharp is great. Blairs is great (if you can get it). Melinda’s “fire roasted garlic and habanero” and Melinda’s Ghost pepper.

  35. 2-10VoltJesus

    Try Cry Baby Craig’s! It’s my favorite!

  36. nerdyvintageco

    I love that Queen Majesty. Despite how mass market it is, i think the Green El Yucateco habanero hot sauce is my favorite sauce of all time.

  37. toocoolzforschool

    Go for the Dave’s Gourmet Ghost Pepper sauce it’s a staple for me

  38. BC1500

    Elijah’s: Xtreme Regret, Xtreme Regret Reserve

    Torchbearer: Garlic Reaper, Plum Reaper, Rapture

    Howler Monkey: All flavors

    Marie Sharp’s: Red Hornet, Beware

    Green Belly

    Sauce Leopard: Homegrown Hell

    I got the Costco two pack of aardvark and it’s taking forever to get rid of. Not a fan.

  41. BigLoveForNoodles

    I am low key obsessed with that Queen Majesty. I generally don’t like sauces that involve coffee, but that stuff is amazing.

  42. FunkleSam1776

    Howler Monkey Original is my latest go-to. I got it as a stocking stuffer and went through it in a couple weeks!

  43. WHITEMERLOT69

    It’s not the spiciest but this is up there in flavor for me: Nandos garlic peri peri

  44. Fishtails

    I’m curious to try the one that comes in a gallon jar.
