Well Steve it was some fine reading again, great job. You are making my trip next year to FF a busy one. I will have to visit their booth and see for myself. I am quite intrigued now. I have seen this bottle a couple of times and never thought twice about it. Goes to show how important the HSB can be for a product.

And for whats its worth the Smokin Heat was my fave when I tried them all last year. Nice, clean habanero taste and I LOVE that! That being said it could use a little more sweetness but as a habanero sauce in itself it shines!

‘Before jumping into the review, I feel compelled to rebut the remarks of my Florida-hating friend, Lars. If you take his advice and detach Florida from the U.S. map, someone please tow it to Virginia and park it in my back yard. I love FL !!!’

No worries Steve! As soon as I finish sawing through the panhandle, I’ll drop it off on the shores of VA! lol

I have to agree 100% with your description of the Howlin’ Jalapeno. The fact that this is an award winning sauce really supports some recent blog entries about how subjective sauces can be and if a sauce that got a 1st in competition gets slammed on the blog, what does that say about the sauces that took 2nd or 3rd place in the same competition? Nothing! I really have to draw a comparison of hot sauces to wines in terms of what people think is good, bad and otherwise. Quite simply it’s all about pallette. I’ve had $100 bottles of wine that were so so and $10 bottles that were great. But that is just MY opinion. Same thing with sauces and awards and Howlin’ Jalapeno proves it.

florida could fall off the US and i wouldnt mind one bit.

i have had the memphis mojo made with scotch bonnet peppers (cant remember what one it was) and i have to say it was a really good sauce. decent heat, good flavor, very universal. i recommend that one and now i have to get this one and compare. cant wait.

Wow, what’s with all the FLA bashing? Anyway, I love anything with Scotch Bonnets, so I will have to try that!
