Reaper Hot Sauce

Reaper Hot Sauce is a fruit-forward reaper hot sauce that brings serious Carolina Reaper heat with real fruit behind it, blended by Elijah's Xtreme.

This one starts with sweet black cherries, cranberries, and a pour of Kentucky bourbon, so the front end lands savory and fruity before the pepper ever shows. Then the Carolina Reaper arrives and settles in for a long stay. It runs around 350,000 Scoville, so this is not a table sauce you drown your plate in. Respect it and build the heat one shake at a time.

A few drops is all it takes. Shake it over wings, drag a taco through it, stir it into a pot of chili, or hit a burger when you want fire with actual flavor behind it. This one is for the guys who reach past the mild bottle every time.
