I tried about 75 hot sauces from 30 different companies this summer and reviewed around 50 of them here. The plan was to find my...

So many ingredients in here and nothing is especially dominant, which is a nice change. This is another wonderfully rich, dark fermented...

Most of the sauces I’ve tried the past couple of weeks have been mild and I almost forgot what the sting of a good Scotch Bonnet hot...

I’m enjoying these fermented hot sauces at the moment and this one is primarily made from the Korean fermented pepper paste gochujang. So...

A bit more garlicky than Troublemaker, but again a strong sense of the ferment. I’m not getting a lot of chipotle or mango, which is a...

A new company. I’ve picked up three sauces, all made with fermented ingredients and I’m starting with their Troublemaker, which is made...

I love this company. This is how it should be done. The play, the flavours, the originality. A specific Peruvian pepper is used here, the...

Another design misfire. This is a heatless condiment that says it's made with honey and butter. So the image? A blood-soaked bison with...

I bought this one a while ago and have been putting it off. It sounds like it’s going to be way too hot for me. I’m not here for the...

My second Buffalo Hot Sauce is from Bristol's Ginger Beard. This one is sharper and less unctuous than the Guzzalo. More peppery, less...

Gochugaru is the type of pepper traditionally used to make kimchi and is also known as the Korean pepper or Kimchi pepper. It’s said to...

This is the most inarticulate branding in my hot sauce journey so far. No, sorry, let me start on a different note. I didn’t want to do...

Hot Ketchup. That’s what this is. Tomatoes and heat. Simple and effective. Done. I’ve criticised too much tomato in some of the Chipotle...

I’ve had a lot of mild sauces lately so this one took me by surprise. It isn’t raging but it’s got a sharp kick. It’s a Bajan sauce - my...

I may not have said this before now, but a side-purpose this year as I try all of these hot sauces is to find the perfect pasty...

This is the first Buffalo Hot Sauce I’ve reviewed here, which is an oversight. Generally speaking, Buffalo sauce is a normal hot sauce...

I was a bit worried about this one. The sauce looks quite like the Chipotle sauce from South Devon, which I tried a while ago and it...

Odd flavour. Slightly reminds me of some of the smoked sauces from earlier, which is probably the Chipotle coming through. The...

I picked up a handful of Lazy Scientist sauces recently and they’re all kind of funky. One has blueberry in it, another has stout, and...

The big flavour here is mango. The sauce looks and tastes just like pureed mango. It’s bright yellowy orange, smooth as ketchup and sweet...
