The official hot sauce review thread (to be updated)!
Hot sauce!!! :devilwink: In alphabetical order. Add reviews here. Word of warning: I didn't think to check for honey in all the ingredients until partway through the list, so let me know if any flavors need to be removed.
Hot Sauce
Arizona Gunslinger
a habanero-jalapeno sauce that my mom brought when she visited. It's really good, but we're almost out (permanentgrin)
Chipotle habanero
Green jalapeno
Habanero
Habanero and mango
Red jalapeno
This used to be one of my favorites...but I can't find it anymore. Love the red jalapeno flavor! Very flavorful...tangy without tasting vinegary. Goes great with refried bean burritos. (kristinv)

Awassi
Ebesse zozo hot
Favorite. crazy African hot sauce my friend gets me when he goes to Shambhala. Use it on pretty much anything, though. I love love love love that stuff!! (sb)
still the best in the universe (sb)
I've had several bottles of it over the years. My best friend is from Canada and goes to this big music festival called Shambhala. The first time he tasted it, he KNEW he had to get it for me because I love all things spicy. I have never seen it for sale in stores (sb)
Ebesse zozo medium
Ebesse zozo mild
Baron
West Indian hot
Bello
Hot pepper
Blair's
After death
This is a very spicy habanero hot sauce with a bit of smoky chipotle flavor coming through. A little goes a long way. My favorite way to use it is to add just a couple drops to guacamole. (kristinv)
Beyond death
Chipotle slam
A good, basic chipotle hot sauce. Kinda spicy (nowhere near as spicy as their Death sauces). I didn't use it much, because there are other chipotle sauces I like better. (kristinv)
Death
Golden death
Jalapeno death
Jalapeno tequila
This is one of my favorite Blair's sauces, and it's my second favorite green sauce. Everything you would expect from a good green sauce...tangy, flavorful and medium-spicy. (kristinv)
Mega death
Muerte death
Pure death
Sudden death
Sweet death
Ultra death
Wasabi green tea
A very unique hot sauce. Great if you like wasabi...couldn't really taste the green tea, though. I didn't use it much, because I had no idea what to put it on. Now that I'm thinking about it, it would probably go great on some veggie sushi. (kristinv)

Brother Bru Bru's African
Original
i really like spicy food so most hot sauce just doesn't cut it for me (not hot... ) i like this (hesp)
has a fairly distinctive apple-cider and African-spices flavor. Not for everything, but often goes well in otherwise slightly bland soups. (kuzu)
Capt'n Sleepy's
Habanero
Cholula
Chili garlic
A very garlicy sauce but milder than original Cholula. Tasty, but I don't use it very often, because it's milder than most hot sauces. (kristinv)
Chili lime
not very good...and I'm a huge fan of the original...the lime gave it a weird taste that I didn't care for - only bought it once, never again. (erinmonster)
Chipotle
Original
Nothing else will do for us. (nmpixie)
favorite (queenbee)
I LOVE this stuff. When I go to a Mexican restaurant I get my own salsa bowl because I load it up with this delicious sauce. Mmmmmm....(veganrun)
It's my absolute favorite (caison)
like it (wassernixe)
pretty decent too. (fb)
like it on omelets and breakfast taters (mama2veggie)
my favorite hot sauce for mexican food! It's a pantry staple. (erinmonster)
Yum! This has really good flavor. It's not very spicy, but I definitely prefer it to the other Mexican style hot sauces I've had. I would purchase this to have. (AC)
love when i want some smokey spice (larisuena)
LOVE this stuff. Not too hot that you can't taste the flavor. I could drink this stuff. (veganrun)
Good general hot sauce for Mexican food, but I prefer Tapatio as far as Mexican-style hot sauces go. (kristinv)
Crystal
Extra hot
Original
it's the only one that was ever in my house growing up. it's what my mom made her buffalo sauce with and i don't think i could ever use another at home. (mei)
I use it (or something composed of vinegar and cayenne) on any type of potato (baked, fried, roasted). (sb)
love it (lunanova)

Hot sauce
Dave's Gourmet
2011 jolokia private reserve
Adjustable heat
Cool cayenne
Crazy Caribbean
It is not too hot and has a slight sweetness to it. One of the first ingredients is carrots. If it wasn't so expensive I would buy it more often. (monkey7)
although I've only been able to buy one bottle, it was absolutely delicious as far as I can remember. In comparison, all of Dave's other sauces I've tried were quite disappointing (kuzu)
Garlic chile
Ginger peach
Ghost pepper jolokia
Hurtin habanero
Hurtin jalapeno
Jump up chipotle
Jump up original
Jump up passionfruit
Insanity
starts out mild good flavor then a sudden explosion of heat. (caison)
okay when I want mostly heat and not so much flavor, and there are several flavors I haven't tried. (kuzu)
Very spicy. I like to add a few drops to vegetable soup to give it some kick. Doesn't really add flavor...just heat. (kristinv)
Liquid stoopid
I LOVE THIS. Instant giant bomb of insane heat. Within milliseconds, you feel the most intense heat I've ever gotten from a hot sauce, along with a beautiful smoky flavor. (caison)
Presidential Barack
Roasted garlic
Roasted red pepper and chipotle
Scotch bonnet
A tangy, flavorful sauce...I poured it on everything until the bottle was empty (in a matter of days). I received it as a gift, but I haven't been able to find it in stores. (kristinv)

one favorite (storm)
It wasn't fancy, as it was the El Yucatan brand, HOWEVER it is one that I bought in Alaska, and accidentally "smuggled" home on the plane (they actually stopped me in security!). It was in the door of my fridge, got stuck when I picked up something else and smashed all over the floor. :(
eta: El Yucateco, I mean
Bummer...sounds like you went through a lot for that bottle!
I haven't broken any hot sauce bottles, but I was devastated when we came home from vacation (this was a couple years ago) to find our fridge broken. I think we tossed out 10-15 bottles of hot sauce (all the ones that specified "refrigerate after opening"), because we didn't want to risk any kind of food poisoning. And of course, we also threw out basically everything else, but I was most upset about the hot sauce.
If I had known the "what is your favorite hot sauce" thread was going to be converted into a review thread I would have left actual reviews instead of just favorites. I guess I'll have to get busy on that.....later.
And in other chile news, Bhut Jolokia has lost its throne.
