Next up on the heat scale is the intensely hot and unforgiving Blair's Sudden Death Sauce. There's nothing subtle about the firepower of this ultra-hot hot sauce (hence the name), which comes from using red habanero pods, cayenne peppers and "pure pepper resin" to ensure the heat keeps on burning long after the sauce is down the hatch. The flavors in Blair's Sudden Death are sweeter than Original Death and After Death, and there's no smokiness. Sudden Death is also spiked with ginseng, I guess to help you "feel alive" as the folks at Blair's like to say. Most chileheads consider Blair's Sudden Death Sauce to be around the same heat intensity as (or a bit hotter than) Dave's Insanity Sauce.
The hottest hot sauce of this foursome is Blair's Mega Death Sauce, with a cool-looking holographic label. Hotter than Dave's Private Reserve Insanity Sauce but not quite as hot as Black Mamba Hot Sauce or Da Bomb Ground Zero, Blair's Mega Death Hot Sauce currently holds 5th place on our list of hottest hot sauces. Assuming you're brave (or crazy) enough to try this ultra-hot hot sauce, and assuming your tongue can get past the extreme heat and actually taste any flavors, you might be able to appreciate the sweet flavors of guava and molasses, some smokiness from chipotle, and the zingy bite of ginger. The heat in Mega Death sauce comes from red habanero pods, cayenne and ancho chiles, as well as the chipotle and "natural pepper flavor" which I suspect is another variation on capsaicin extract.
All four Blair's Death Sauces are all-natural, and each bottle comes with the trademark Blair's Death skull keychain.
Zestfully yours,
Gloria
