It has no mention of what pepper is in it and i'm kinda regretting the heat rating right now. There's an immediate burn that makes you think "oh this is gonna be hot". But it goes away pretty quick. I think the combination of the little "burn" vinegar has going down and whatever pepper that's in it, is a little misleading. I would have to downgrade it to maybe a 5 on the heat scale. I've been a little spoiled lately with sauces that have multiple pepper varieties in them where you have the instant heat AND the slow build. This one was instant heat, then POOF, gone. It's not the kind of sauce I really enjoy but in fairness for people that do like that kind of sauce, I didn't wanna go too crazy or put too much importance on ratings.The Hot Pepper said:What was the mystery "pepper" in the ingredients? And how was this a 7 on heat? You need to build your tolerance haha! A 7 is like a ghost sauce these days......
The catch phrase is back by popular demand just for you buddy. haha. I really did this review mainly just for fun because I really expected it to just be a novelty sauce. Drinking the whole bottle probably didn't make it a fair assessment but in reality, it's not a bad sauce.WarrantMan said:Part of my teen years were spent not far from Fairhope, Alabama. It's just over the causeway from Mobile, AL amongst a cluster of other towns. I always heard that's where Jimmy Buffet was from....

You nailed the catch phrase!Â
There is a clear version of this sauce too. This one was the "oak aged" colored one.The Hot Pepper said:WarrantMan, looks like you have a "Clearly Guilty" competitor.
There is an odd aftertaste like there is charred oak in it but it tastes chemical. Perhaps metallic.. But synthetic in some way.. Can't quite put my finger on it.The Hot Pepper said:That burn may be extract not vinegar. Or combo. Any metallic hints?

I'm always a little standoff-ish when I see companies using flashy displays to sell a product. I would prefer them spend their money on quality ingredients and a quality product. Like bottles of alcohol packed in fancy packaging.. How bout you just keep the Kevlar bedazzled box and charge me less..? lolWarrantMan said:Edmick,

I will give them props on marketing. Obviously you found it in California, and I do believe I saw it here in Charleston as well in a place called "The Bootjack." A country western type store with "boots" as the primary product. Unless I conflate it with another product, I seem to recall it was displayed in a wooden "Ammo" type box. I remarked to my girlfriend who had drug me along, about the marketing aspect and what I thought the product was.... I may go back and try one of the little bottles..  Nah, don't reckon I will. I know "what time it is." I will take your word...
