Dave's Naga Jolokia Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce Review

Ok, admittedly I have never been a fan of Dave's Insanity Sauce. Granted, it has its perks: you must wash your hands after touching and it makes death seem like a desirable alternative to suffering through the pain of a spoonful. However, I've never thought much of the flavor, nor that it complimented any food particularly well.

That said, my heart skipped a few beats when I unwrapped a bottle of Dave's Naga Jolokia Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce for Christmas. Apparently my father does not think much of his son to purchase him death in a bottle in memorial of Christ's birthday.

Here is my review of Dave's Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce:

1. The #1 ingredient is Naga Jolokia (Bhut Jolokia/Ghost) peppers, which are some of the hottest peppers in the entire world. How amazing is it that  a Ghost Pepper sauce is becoming mainstream in the US!!?
2. There are only six ingredients, which include salt, oil and roasted garlic - all of which make the flavor enjoyable certainly relative to Dave's Insanity Sauce. 
3. The texture is thick and satisfying and there appear to be NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS!

Overall my review would be to give Dave's Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce 4.5 out of 5 stars. The flavor is good, the burn is completely intense (and it sticks) and I absolutely love that Dave's would help to popularize death peppers in the states! Unlike habanero sauces, which better compliment Mexican and Latin American foods, I would recommend using it sparingly on Asian foods, such as stir fry. It may compliment Thai as well as the burn is sustained for quite a long period after consuming. 

Try it if you dare:
