Devil Duck's Nuclear Scurvy - First impressions

Devil Duck was kind enough to give me two sample vials of his Nuclear Scurvy sauce at FFS '08, and I finally got around to trying it. He's made a winner, and I'm not just saying that because he's a good guy.

It starts with a nice, brief jalepeno kick and lime flavor, and rides out to a nice burn of habanero, and fades back to the fruity tones and lime. It has a well balanced flavor, and a nice thick consistency without being chunky. It also has a very pleasant aroma of jalepeno, habanero, and lime that I'm enjoying.

The heat level is pretty good, a little higher than I was expected based on his description of the sauce - but this is a good thing. The heat is nothing insane or unmanagable, but my tongue is still a little tingly a few minutes later.

I would classify it as an all-purpose sauce, I can see myself using it in variety of ways, but I'm thinking a chicken breast marinaded in this stuff would be utterly amazing.

There's plenty of room on the hot sauce pond for this Duck.
 
Why thank ya, Sir!

Personally, I really like to use that sauce on a pulled pork sandwich. But it pairs surprisingly well with all foods.
 
I was just thinking about this sauce......

I gotta pull back the lime a bit and focus on the jalapeƱo flavor. I use habs for the nice little "kick", but that's it.

This is a very complex sauce, believe it or not..... Probably the most labor intensive of my line due to the spices involved, and I want that to shine out

...but it IS good on pulled pork.
 
I was gonna say how I don't like lime before I saw DD's reply, but NVM. :D
Lime is nice when it's just a hint, not an actual flavor.
 
I love lime... and it goes very well with green chiles, specially with jalapeƱos, chiltepes, serranos.
