I eat food with my hot sauce.
The name’s Nick and I run this joint. I’m also the owner of Sweat ‘N Spice Hot Sauces. Why the two sites? The Hot Sauce Blog is for pure informational purposes & fun. Business is business.
I’ve been a collector and a consumer of hot sauces for more years then I can remeber. I live with the wife and our two dogs in New York City. At just about every meal you’ll find me with a different bottle of hot sauce or cooking something up with fresh habaneros.

- Top 5 Hot Sauces:
- Blair’s After Death
- Marie Sharp’s Belizean Heat
- Loco Luna Lava – Hot
- Slaughter Sauce
- Desert Pepper XXX Hot
Hottest Sauce Ever Consumed: Blair’s 16 Million (16 Million Scoville Units) is the hottest I’ve consumed. Review here. I still have leftovers, so I’m sure I’ll be doing it again. But if we’re talking edible hot sauces then I would have to say 357 Mad Dog Collectors (600,000 Scoville Units) or Blair’s Jersey Death (2x the heat of Blair’s Mega Death).
Number of Hot Sauces in Collection: About 1,000 now. Some collector’s bottles and a ton of ones I’ve found along the way.
Favorite Type of Sauce: Habanero. The simplier the better on these. I love sauces I can use on any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Personal Website: Yeah, this one.
Hot Sauces Consumed: In my lifetime? Hmm…2 bottles a week X 52 weeks a year X 10+ years = 16k+. That’s a lot of hot sauce folks!

Hi Nick,
I am a chilehead, but I have found it very difficult to find any hot sauce that has a heat level of 9 or 10 or more that has a taste that I like.. I really like Jardine’s Sontava Habanero XX Hot Sauce (heat level 7) and Sontava XXX Hot Sauce (heat level 8).. Another brand I like a lot is the Tropical Pepper Co. XXXtra Habanero Pepper Sauce (heat level 7) and XXXXtra Habanero Pepper Sauce (heat level 8).. These two Brands have a really great taste.. Can U suggest some that I might like that has an heat level of 9 and/or 10 .. TNX WG
I am disappointed in your list of top sauces. “After Death” is good and has a distinctively garlic flavor, but it is far too hot to thoroughly enjoy (my opinion). I’m sure you’ve tried “Hogs Ass” garlic hot sauce, what do you think? I believe it tastes almost exactly like “Blair’s After Death” with a more tolerable bite. Please get back to me =)
