I think it was a habanero/peach.
Congrats to all the winners!
Roasted Habanero/Peach salsa …with a dash of whisky
Thanks for posting that Nick. I didn’t know how “on the radar” our little hotsauce party was with you guys….
Looking forward to meeting you guys in person at Zest Fest!!!!
If you have never tried Winston’s Hot Sauce (3rd place in commercial pepper sauce), pick up a couple of bottles. I go through several bottles every year…the stuff is like liquid heaven with just enough hell mixed in to keep you coming back for more.

Oh, and reviewers, we’ve got samples of all the winners (cept the individuals) coming in
Sweet! I can’t wait to give some of these a try.

Winston’s is awesome. I tried that last year. A unique flavor combination!
Winston’s is distributing a new sauce ( not sure if it’s the same folks making it or if it’s a co-packer deal) called manGogh ( mango-get it?) Sizzle Sauce that is really tasty. I picked up a bottle and will review it elsewhere at some point. Good stuff if you like sweet heat!
Nice to see Tears of Joy (August in Austin) there- way to go Mr Rush!
