Doing my 4th annual hot sauce party and I’m looking for some help to smooth out the heat curve. Of these 9 sauces, I need a hot sauce in the #7 spot that’s hotter than Secret Aardvark Reaper but less hot than Reaper Squeezin’s. I tried plugging in Elijah’s Xtreme Regret but honestly it’s the same heat or maybe even less than the Reaper Aardvark which was surprising and disappointing. The jump from Aardvark/Elijah’s to Reaper Squeezin’s and Widow No Regrets is pretty large, so I’m trying to find a sauce that’ll be a nice bridge between them.
I feel like there’s so many options but I’d love to hear some opinions! I’ll list the sauces below in case you can’t read the labels:
Burns & McCoy – Gold 79 Curry
Big Red’s – Maple Bacon Jalapeño
Angry Goat Pepper Co – Dreams of Calypso
Angry Goat Pepper Co – Pink Elephant
Historic Lynchburg – Tennessee Whiskey Habanero
Secret Aardvark – Aardvark Reaper
Elijah’s Xtreme – Regret
Puckerbutt – Reaper Squeezin’s
Widow – No Survivors
