Grinders Death Nectar - Extremely Hot - Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce 3.5 oz

The most important thing to know about this product is that it is a hot sauce that uses chile pepper extract (capsaicin). Whatever they are using for extract is extremely hot. I've read that it's ghost pepper extract but have not been able to confirm. Either way it is very hot and should be respected. Extract sauces are much different than sauces that only use the whole peppers though I have had some incredibly hot non-extract sauces as well. This sauce however is hotter than anything I've ever had including eating whole ghost peppers right off the plant.I confirmed with someone at grinders that when they used to make this sauce in house before hiring a company to produce it for them that they cooks used to wear respirators and hazmat suits while making it. All it takes is a small taste and you will understand why.If you are going to use this hot sauce, use it very sparingly. You only need a small drop in any dish and it will get the job done. For many, it will still be too much to handle.My first time trying this I took a drop that was probably a generous1/8 to a quarter of a teaspoon on a corn chip. The taste was a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce style taste that only lasted a second or two before the nuclear meltdown started. Immediate and near unbearable heat to the mouth quickly leading to the throat and everything in its path. The heat from this sauce is relentless and keeps building and building for quite some time after consumption. Nose runs were uncontrollable, I broke out in a sweat, eyes watering and my ears were clogged, which actually lead to ringing in the ears. I thought I was going to hyperventilate for a moment. This is what I was looking for. Something that can barely be handled.The flavor is great for the brief moment you can actually taste it and on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the hottest, this sauce is a 20. This is not a prank sauce. It is a sauce intended for serious heat seekers. All others should avoid it.

This is one of the best hot sauces I have had. Many sauces have a chemical taste that's bitter in your mouth. This has a bit of a fruit taste and is wicked hot but tasty. It's less than 400,000 scovill units but tastes hotter as your inclined to use more than you should because it tastes good. After trying a little to much on my ribs, it left a lasting hot to my mouth and lips. To me, it's not a killer sauce but I eat habanero peppers right out of the garden, and this sauce makes an habanero seem like it's an apple! This Death Nectar is everything that the maker days it is and more. If you think a jalapeno is hot, you may want to stay away. This will bring tears and sweat to your face. And it's wonderful if your like me and have to have it hot. You could make a great chilli with this, or add it to your BBQ sauce. It's flavor doesn't change the taste of what your eating. Of course if you use too much, you won't taste anything but the burning sensation that's bringing you to your knees in pain.......then you do it again! Enjoy, it's a great hot sauce!

Just as the previous reviews state, the initial taste is a bit sweet...kinda like BBQ sauce, but then the fire. It burns all the way down, and nothing will cool that burn until it reaches bottom. I wasn't the first one to try it. I took it to my work and passed it around. Watching the reactions of others who "think" they are tough, to see their eyes water and watch the sweat bead on the forehead is hilarious!! I warned them before trying...but you know....everyone is a bad@$$....Lit up the office.The proper way to use this is when making your own sauce...to add to the sauce gives the tangy, zingy, fire flavor. To put this directly on any type of meat is pure insanity. Please, to novices, use with caution. Take small doses before moving on to larger quantities.

I love adding just a little bit of this to my chili. It really brings out a spice without destroying the whole pot of chili. This is not a spice for anybody that does not like super spicy. This is a wonderful product to put on sandwiches as well. But I do caution anybody who buys it. It is extremely spicy

Definitely spicy! I bought this to give my dad for Christmas. He loves spicy. Few days later, I hear from my mom that he tried three drops in his food, and he was struggling lol tears coming down and everything. He said he completely skipped over the sweating stage, and went right to the tears. Felt the burn for about half an hour. I tried a drop in my food, and I was suffering xD sweating, but no tears. Took about ten minutes for the burn to go away. Then my masochistic ass tried a drop on a chip. Wrongo. I was barely keeping it together xD tried spitting it out, but it was too late already. I think this would be more palatable with a drop in a big pot of food. Definitely try one drop at a time!

I've eaten many hot things in the past. I've tried dozens and dozens of different hot sauces, so I figured Death Nectar would just be another crazy hot sauce.I had the brilliant idea of taking about three drops worth straight. No chips, no water, nothing. The first thing I thought was, "Hey, that's got some nice flavor." That statement is true. Death Nectar does have some good flavor.Less than two seconds later the heat exploded in my mouth and throat. I broke into a sweat and blew out a big breath.I wrongly thought that would be the end of it. Two seconds later a fifteen foot plume of fire shot from my rear. This wasn't just a plume of fire, this was more equivalent to a welders torch. The flames were so intense, it melted a titanium sculpture on the far end of the room.Needless to say my home was soon engulfed in flames. Everyone made it out unscathed and thankfully my insurance covers flame belching butts on a claim.When the firefighters arrived, they asked what happened. At first they didn't believe me. Then one of them took a drop for himself. A flaming meteorite shot out his behind and blew up the fire truck. All he could say after was "That's some good hot sauce!"
