Dave's Gourmet Naga Jolokia Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce 148 ml

Being a lover of hot chili sauces - I use Tabasco every day, and once drank a bottle to win 10 roubles - I thought I knew what chili heat could do. I had tried Dave's Insanity before, and had to have a bottle of their Ghost Pepper sauce, reputed to be very, very much hotter. Opening the bottle, I dipped my little finger in to try it. With just a tiny, tiny speck on my finger, almost invisible, I licked it. Wow!!!The heat starts off pretty easy, but then develops over the upper palate with a kind of icy capsaicin burn. The spot where I put it on my tongue quickly felt swollen, and soon the tip of my tongue went numb as it spread through my mouth. This is HOT!The most surprising thing is that from start to finish this sauce has a really delicious, well developed and rounded pepper taste. Unlike other very hot sauces that try for the heavyweight title, there is real depth and flavour here, which will certainly add more than just heat to any curry. chilli-con-carne or salsa.The sauce gradually wore off my palate until after 4 or 5 mins there was just a lovely pepper fruit flavour wafting in and out of my sinuses as I took a breath.In conclusion, this is not only one of the very hottest chili sauces, but in my experience the best flavoured as well. Of course, everything has its place, but I can really see this playing a major part in my kitchen not only as a condiment to scare guests with, but as a valued and versatile ingredient.By the way, well done to Hot-Headz, who got this excellent product to my door in 48hrs with a Bank Holiday in-between!

After I tried a bottle of Tabasco's Scorpion special edition I found the Habarnero one no longer provided the necessary pain on my bacon and eggs. So I upgraded to this. It's much hotter than even the Tabasco Scorpion sauce, so it took a little getting used to. Then I tried Dave's Scorpion sauce, Z: Nothing Beyond, Who Dares Burns: Second Assault and finally Dave's Ultimate Insanity, but in the end I have come back to this one. It has the heat AND the taste. Dave's Scorpion sauce is very hot but has no extract, so it lacks the lava-like sensation (great chilli flavour though). Z is very tasty, but also very sweet. Who Dares Burns and esp Dave's Ultimate Insanity taste awful, though certainly deliver the magma. In fairness to the latter, it's intended to be added to food as an ingredient, not a sauce, so I'm not using it properly. So use that for your curries/chillis, but the Ghost Pepper one for your bacon and eggs, etc. Fantastic heat with a nice, strong chilli flavour without being sweet. Heat level: if you like vindaloos, or even phals, this sauce is for you. Otherwise you will find its heat genuinely alarming.

Very very hot but a lovely flavour. Only a drop required to give a lot of heat in any cooking.Ghost pepper is my favourite flavour and this hits the spot 😋

The sauce is a great companion for just about any meal, even a salad. You can finish your meal off with a few drops of fire. The sauce his very hot and the heat lasts a while but it also tastes very good. It is a pricey but it will last. A few drops will set any meal on fire and few drops is what is recommended, any more and your tongue will be tested.

Iv been looking for a good sauce for ages. This sauce is Not salty, its Not vinegary and its Not unpleasant on the taste buds.This sauce Is nice and hot, its got a good round taste and it leaves you wanting more and more and more.I would recommend this for everything. Just like duck tape, gripfill and for the wife to remove her eye makeup haha.Take it to work with you a chuck a spoon full in a pot noodle for an instant chilli fix. 10 out of 10.

I first had this in America, if your no familiar with the Ghost Pepper then do a quick search on Youtube. This is a great way to experience the extreme hotness.If you are not familiar with the Scoville scale, its the measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods as reported in Scoville heat units (SHU).To put it in perspective a Jalapeño pepper is about 1000 SHUthis stuff, the ghost pepper is upwards of 1,000,000 SHUI hunted for this Ghost Pepper for a while, I love getting it out at BBQ's and when having guests over for dinner.Do you want to try the hot sauce? sure! no one is ever disappointed. You only need 1 drop, no joke 1 drop, often 1 drop added to a curry dish is enough. If you just put your finger on it and taste it will be really hot not the best way to try, I like to mix a few drops with salsa or BBQ sauce to give it a nice kick. I have found mixing it into other sauces makes it tolerable.Keep away from kids and pets. Careful you don't get any on your fingers and then touch your nose or eyes.Enjoy!

Another classic from Dave's rangeThis sauce is hot though I thought it would be more potent it seems to be somewhere between Dave,s insanity sauce and Dave,s ultimate insanity sauce.You can use it for pretty much anything though be careful with the amount you use a few drops is enough for most things and some people may find it too hot. If you buy a pepper sauce such s tabasco you can say it has a good flavour etc. When you buy things like Dave,s sauces they don't taste unpleasant taste but you cant really describe the flavour as its very hot and that overwhelms everything else.Suffice to say adding to a pot of chilli its great you just have to find out how much you need. You can add it to anything you want to add a kick too as long as its not something with a delicate taste. I have added it to a bottle of soy sauce and it had the same soy sauce flavour but with a kick.

Great ....... in this case the usual line “does what it says on the tin” is appropriate (apart from the fact that it is a bottle....It’s very hot but well made so it is smooth and tasty too
