Reaper Squeezin's

Reaper Squeezins, through its simple list of ingredients, succeeds where most extremely hot sauces fail: it actually has a great flavor, as opposed to the unnatural, almost chemical taste that extreme hot sauces often have. It has a beautiful color, and lends both extreme heat and smokiness to dishes. This is definitely a hot sauce to approach with responsibility and caution. I have a very high tolerance for heat, and started with an approximately pea-sized dab on a mini potato. I wasn't suffering much, but even such a small amount left my mouth tingling for ten minutes. It would be easy even for an experienced heat-seeker to overdo this and have regrets.I love the bottle design, and $18 seems reasonable considering this will certainly last me a long time. Even if you're not looking for extreme heat, I could see putting a teaspoon of this into a pot of chili to add some fire and smoke.

There are many great hot sauces but many of them use garlic, onions, vinegar an so forth for added flavor. There's nothing wrong with sauces like that of course, but I wanted a sauce for which the only flavor was pure Carolina Reaper pepper. This is exactly that, with just a tiny hint of vinegar to keep it fresh. Plenty of heat, but not so much it overwhelms the flavor.

Added this to another sauce that I liked the flavor of to give it that kick I needed, the best of both worlds. It felt like Death showed up at my door with flowers, then took me on the back of his bike for a spin setting the roads on fire, brought me home before 9 and then kissed me. That's what this feels like. I am in love with The Reaper.For real though: no chemical taste (that I could detect, and I am very sensitive), sauce is smooth and will pour the first chance it gets so be slow and careful, and it smells about the damn way you'd think. It's pure stuff.

I'm the type of guy who can literally sip Tabasco® brand sauce straight out of the bottle. I would only do it for show, and not very often because it tastes too vinegaryUntil I tried Reaper Squeezin's, I really didn't think there was such a thing as a hot sauce that was too hot. Oh yeah, you can bet your patootie, this stuff is 'too hot,' but that's a good thing. Here's why:It only takes a few drops to achieve the heat level most folks want, but as an added bonus, it has a definite, pleasant smoky flavor to food in moderate doses. I figured the smokey flavor other reviewers mentioned was imagination, but yes, it's real.I don't doubt there are other sauces that are even hotter, but at some point, a few extra Scoville units here and there doesn't really matter. This stuff is hot enough.For example, I used to think people declaring a food was so hot that it made them sweat was an exaggeration, but believe me, this made me break out in a sweat.Yet here, it's the flavor that makes a difference, but be sure to go easy. A few drops does the trick.

This is definitely the hottest natural hot sauce I've ever stuck in my mouth. Whether or not it's truly a hot sauce is debatable, it's more like a pepper mash because the ingredients are just a boatload of Carolina Reapers and a touch of vinegar. It doesn't matter how you classify it, this sauce shines in two areas which are flavor and heat.I've seen other reviews on the web calling this sauce one dimensional, but I have to disagree. While yes it's basically one ingredient, I find that Carolina Reapers have a nice complexity on their own, with a nice bit of acidic sweetness followed by a serious punch of heat. This one is definitely a builder. When I first tried it I put way too much on a taco, took a bite and thought "this isn't so bad! I really like the flavor!" and about 30 seconds later the heat started to build. And build. And build. Next thing I know I've got sweat dripping off my brow and then my face melted off. After catching my breath I went on another ride.Be careful with this one! The one small downside is that this sauce/mash is incredibly thick so it's tough to pour. The sauce gets caught up in the neck of the bottle, only for you to shake it a bit and then accidentally dump out more than intended.

This may be my new fave. I love the flavor of the Reaper that comes through. The heat bridges the gap for me between Melinda's Ghost Pepper and Pepper Palace's The End: Flatline. A few dabs is all you need for a nice punch of flavor and a kick in the pants of slow building but long lasting heat. This may be too hot for a majority of people out there, but if you're looking at this sauce, I'm gessing you're not one of them. The price may seem a bit high, but the bottle brings a lot of value and I'll be getting more when the time comes.

Initially I received a broken bottle of reaper squeezins but after contacting puckerbutt they quickly sent a replacement and an additional bottle of gator sauce for the trouble. As for the sauce it's my absolute favorite to cook with. It's a great way to spice up any meal and it has a sweet and smokey flavor, the heat is intense but not offensive.

Ingredients: fresh ground Carolina Reapers, Carolina Reaper powder, vinegar.Extremely spicy, but has an incredible smoky/citrusy flavor. Love that this company doesn’t use pepper extracts and relies on the genuine article for flavor and heat.
