hot sauce idea

I'm looking for some ideas...I have a base but need more
 
Starting with blackberry, bourbon, chocolate ghost, (have a mix of other supers in my freezer)
 
 
Thinking maple syrup for sugar source...or half honey half maple sugar
 
 
Any thoughts?
 
Is there any way you could incorporate a smoked flavor? You could smoke the peppers for example. I think the smoke would go great with the Maple syrup flavour. Leave the honey for another sauce, mixing the two would make the flavors less noticeable.

Braves' Black Label
 
Maple Syrup, Bourbon, Chocolate Bhut
 
from there I'd have to taste it to know what else to compliment it with, but I'd say that's not a half bad idea...
was planning on experimenting with syrup since a member of my family taps syrup from trees and bottles/sells.
 
This is the best part of making sauce - coming up with recipes!
 
Interesting base - it's hard to suggest things without knowing what kind of sauce you are going for.
 
Dark amber maple for sweetness could be could. Liquid smoke perhaps for some smokiness.
 
If you gave us more of a direction you want to go in, it might be easier to point out ingredients.

make a jelly out of it...spread on crackers with cream cheese. 
 
You could make a killer BBQ sauce from that too. Tomato puree, vinegar, peppers, bourbon, blackberry, molasses, mustard, garlic, onions, salt...

And for the hot sauce, vinegar, peppers, bourbon, blackberry, agave, lemon, coriander, salt.

So you could make a base of the like ingredients here, and then alter the base to make BBQ and hot sauce.

Personally, I'd be inclined to forget the sauce and just infuse smoked chillies into the syrup.
 
I think honey is a very simple sugar, after it ferments nothing will be left behind, at which point you might as well save money and use table sugar. On the other hand, maple syrup is a complex sugar and the bugs will leave plenty of maple flavor behind post ferment. My 2c.
