If all you want is heat then go for Dave's, but there isn't much flavor there imho.

Good Old "Rooster Sauce" as I call it! :blob:There are a bunch that I like, but I ALWAYS have a big bottle of this around:
Much easier to pronounce than the sriahdhciahsai word.
I kinda like the Chipotle Tabasco as well.
It's for colon cleansing, but who knows?! :dunno:Do you make it daily for water purification purposes?okemyeye

I totally agree. As I mentioned in my first post I like it hot but it has to have good flavor.
there's a little known hot sauce called
Black Widow.
It's got a plastic black spider on the cap.
Hottest stuff i've ever had.
3 drops in a pot of lobster bisque makes it very spicy. Yep, that's right, cream based lobster bisque...3 drops...spicy. HOT even.

I do like the Yucatan I have used it in a few dishes as of late.
I also like TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce and Franks Red Hot.

Good to see this bump since I've never come across this thread. I'm just a Tabasco user myself but I put it on damn near everything I can. Never even really thought to branch out besides the usuals. I'll have to give some of these a try!

I really loved Franks Red Hot a few years ago, I put it on everything causing alll my meals to taste the same lol.
I havent had Franks in a long time now, I have really been loving Siracha, Habanero Tobasco and there are a couple of other bottles of habanero stuff I have that I cant remember the names atm...

For a great West Indian selection of dipping hot sauces. . .
For a go to hot sauce, since I'm West Indian, I make my own. Here's the rough recipe
8 lbs of Habanero peppers (Mine are a family hybrid of Guyanese and Trinidadian Habaneros for super fire and fruit flavors)
2 lbs of ripe papaya
4 large mangos (just barely ripe)
1 liter of food grade mustard oil
1 liter of vinegar
1 handful of kosher salt
Working in batches (outdoors wearing a respirator, goggles and double gloved) blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor till smooth. place in a turkey fryer and bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes. Can in sterile jars. An opened jar of this stuff will stay good in the fridge for upwards of a year (mine never last that long). Never leave a spoon in the jar for an extended period of time, 24-48 hours will eat it away. I always use plastic spoons for the stuff.
This sauce has a rich fruity flavor with a heat that sneaks up and stays with you for a while.

I use this sauce. Very spicy, and made from Habaneros. My favorites is the second from the right which is a traditional Mayan hot sauce made from habaneros and indigenous Mexican peppers and spices.
Other than that, I make my own Nuoc Cham sauce (not really hot sauce but kind of) and poor into a large glass container filled all the way to the top with habaneros. Learned the techinique from Montagnards in Vietnam. Me and my buddies have found all kinds of uses for it. Our favorite is fried Texas catfish dipped in the Nuoc Cham.
Oh yeah, of course I also use Sriracha sauce. It is probably the number one sauce used in the house. Can't live without it.
My family also owns the Texas-Texas Brand of salsas and BBQ sauces sold in every Whole Foods, Central Market, and HEB in Texas.
