Great sauce!! This is the closest to Blue Mountain Flame Hot sauce that I have found. The BMF is made by a friend of mine from Ocho Rios and he makes the best Jerk and Curry I ever tasted. This sauce should be used on Jerk Pork, chix, anything Jamaican. This is not Wing Sauce!

As far as the ’strange’ taste, i think this sauce is made with scotch-bonnet peppers, which tend to be rather sweet and fruity? the label on the bottle i have says ‘habanero’ but that is obviously incorrect. just a thought…

I bought a bottle of this about 10 years ago , and thought it was one of the worst things there could be for a hot sauce . It had a syrupy , sweet , weird-candy-hot taste . Not for me , but there’s something for everyone .

These guys have been putting out sauce for a good while. I bought a bottle about 10 years or so ago and thought it was OK, not bad, not overly impressed. I bought a second bottle about 6 months ago and was disappointed. I think maybe I’ve had too many sauces that were much better during that ten year lapse.

It was too salty and just didn’t taste all that good to me. It had sort of an off taste. Maybe it was an old bottle, who knows.

I won’t be buying it again but there must be some folks out there that like it or they wouldn’t keep selling it.

Thats how I feel. Way too salty and the taste is very hard and not pepper oriented.

Well I just gotta’ say that you are too far gone for me to take your advice. I have used Hell Fire for about 10 years-and it works for me and always has. You can buy it at the local grocery and it has better flavor and heat than most “corner market” sauces. As far as the alcohol flavor-do you even drink alcohol?? This sauce has been around soo long you might have a bottle that is older than you and went bad. I just brought a bottle with me to work that expires Oct 16,2008 and gave it a whirl before writing this and I think I will keep buying it. Sorry for ripping on your review but this sauce should be a staple. You think salty-try Blair’s Original Death.

I agree with what you have said. I could have gotten a bad bottle but there was no date on it and I have to still review it assuming what I got is what is produced…

I just feel there is way too much spice in it, it smells and tastes like alcohol, LOL. I will admit it is unique and I am sure it has its followers.. Just not for me as a standard sauce..

I like this sauce. It’s flavor is better suited for wings.
l’d put it around 7.9
