From the bottle, “This is a family sauce. No matter what anyone says, you deserve the love and attention that’s put into each drop. Who knows how this whole thing ends or what tomorrow may bring? I don’t have the answers, but one thing I do know is that this sauce is all the family you’ll ever need. ”

Based on the label I wasn’t sure what to make of this one, but first taste indicated a very mellow but complex sauce. It’s on the thinner side of sauces with respect to viscosity, but is has some fragments of pepper floating around in there. The label lists 7 different peppers (jalapeño, red fresno, habanero, yellow scotch bonnet, bhut jalokia, yellow moruga, brown moruga) and I have to say that I can’t individually identify them in the flavour.

8/10 – I really liked this one. Hot, but mellow and relaxed about it rather than brashly ripping your mouth apart.

A second sauce from “The Planet’s #1 Hot Shop”

Another on from my wife’s recent trip to the US. I have to say, I did wonder, given the Reaper content whether this one was going to break my “no rocket fuel” request! However, this one’s a real blinder..

First off, it doesn’t go too heavy on the Reaper… You know it’s there but the predominant content is actually cayenne. You definitely know that the garlic is there, too…. Delicious! Nice amount of tingly after-burn, I thing they’ve produced a really well balanced sauce for my tastes here!

8/10 – Hoping my wife can get back to that sauce shop soon!

From “The Planet’s #1 Hot Shop”

When my wife asked if there was any sauce she could bring back from a trip to the US, my answer was “surprise me, but no rocket fuel”. This was one of the bottles that came out of her suitcase upon her return!

I’d classify this as a good, solid sauce. Nice hit of heat, detectable up-front sharpness from the vinegar and a mellow trail of garlicy, gingery goodness. Maybe a tiny bit on the sweet side, but I found it to be a good all-rounder and the bottle didn’t last long!

7/10 – Would happily consume again… If anywhere in the UK stocks it!
