Blackie's Best Gourmet Hot Sauce claims to be "Unlike any hot sauce you've ever tasted".
Does it live up to the hype?
Well not really. It is a good basic sauce along the lines of a Tipico or Cholula. It's certainly not bad, just not very different or exciting. Judging by the marketing it is aimed at non-chileheads looking for something a little different.
The most interesting thing about it is the bottle, which is made of pete plastic, like a skinny 8.5 oz version of a Huy Fong Sriracha bottle.
Taste: 3 of 5, Basic, garlicy, salty and not overly vinegary.
Heat Level: 1 you can eat it on anything.
Aroma: 2 Garlic and Vinegar.
Color: 5 Bright Red like a tomato.
Consistency: 5 Thick and uniform like catsup, with tiny white flecks distributed throughout.
Packaging and Label: 4 It's new, clean and eye catching..
Ingredients
Red Chile Peppers
Distilled Vinegar
Salt
Garlic
Xanthan Gum.
