Have you considered making your own? I have a good recipe for a habenero sauce and its pretty easy to make a ton of it. Ingredients can be obtained for $10 or less to make like a gallon of it
Came here to say this. The hottest and nicest tasting sauce is gonna be your own, and it's surprisingly cheap to make
Agreed! Once you know how to make hot sauce you can also learn how to make salsas too. Great stuff to bring to parties or communist revolutions.
Mind sharing? That sounds lit.
Heres the recipe:
3/4 cups white vinegar
1 cup water
8-10 habeneros
1 or 2 carrots
1 Mango (optional but great for sweet heat)
4-6 cloves of garlic
Half an onion
Pinches of salt for flavor
Honey or honey powder (optional for sweet version)
1 red bell pepper (optional for flavor and more mild spice)
Steps:
- Roast the veggies in a cast iron pan in the oven or on the grill
- Put roasted veggies in pot with vinegar and water, boil for 20-30 min (warning: boiling vinegar will cause some fumes so beware when opening lid of pot)
- Let boil cool a few minutes then blend.
- Add salt or more garlic for flavor if needed
Boom! You've just made Jew's Bobcat Sauce.
Note that this recipe will yield ALOT of sauce. Probably around 40 ounces. Scale down as needed. Ratio of vinegar to water can go up to 1:1 for more tang but never do more vinegar than water.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
No prob!
I'd really like to see your recipe, too. I've made chili oil before, but it was basically all heat and not super flavorful.
Sure! Just posted it above
Lacto fermenting habaneros is a direct route to flavor town.
LaoGanMa!
Not really ultrahot, but definitely ultra delicious.

CHILI OILLLLLLL
Monoloco has a very hot sauce that's made without extract. It's only peppers, lemon, and garlic, so it adds not much else in terms of flavor. Otherwise theres YellowBird, which is very tasty and widely avaliable. Also check out https://heatonist.com/, they have a huge variety.
A couple of drops of Dave's Insanity Sauce with salsa is always my go-to.
Edit: Not sure if there are extracts in there.
idk but I went to a burger place last night and they had these little peppers at the sauce bar, I thought they were like pepperoncinis or maybe a sweet pepper of some sort and I munched one whole.
It was not. It was one of the hottest things I have ever eaten and I was sweating my friend was like "are you okay dude?"
Ahhh haha tabasco peppers in vinegar, a Louisiana specialty. The vinegar itself is killer on greens or in gumbo
Probably sport peppers, were they the tiny little yellow ones?
The Hot Ones last dab is mustardy and really good imo
Matouk's Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Sauce.
I'm a huge fan of scotch bonnet pepper sauces and I think they'd fit your requirements well. Specifically, Lottie's Traditional Barbados Recipe Hot Pepper Sauce. Should be pretty easy to find online
https://www.2angrycats.com/products/hero-sauce 2 angry cats Hero Sauce a really tasty, really hot sauce. has a rich, dark, almost smoky heat, but not smoky like charcoal. just great heat from red peppers. I add it to soups, tacos, eggs, etc
I like that thai sambal stuff. It's about half oil, half chili paste. It somehow remains savory despite causing me instant sweats and ruining a few hours of my following morning.
Torchbearer garlic reaper is fantastic, the garlic flavor is really strong but you know exactly how that's gonna affect the dish so it's easy to use
I can also recommend just buying a bunch of habaneros/bonnets/reapers, throwing them in a blender with a little salt, and letting it sit on a shelf for a week until it smells like good pickles
I like Melinda's naga jolokia sauce. It's pretty cheap with a slow burn.
I'm a big fan of bravado hot sauces.
I think their spiciest flavors are the Aka Miso Ghost Pepper, the Black Garlic Carolina Reaper, the Garlic & Arbol Moruga Scorpion, and the Ancho Masala Scorpion Reaper.
For something a step down I like their Ghost pepper & Blueberry as well as their Serrano & Basil.
Their bottles are about $12-$13 for 5oz. I wouldn't pay more than that tbh.
Melinda's
I really really like Secret Aardvark but that's only like 5/10 hot
