Torchbearer Garlic Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce, 142ml

This is absolutely my favourite hot sauce. It is hot but not overwhelmingly so, which means you can use plenty of it without destroying the flavour of your food. It has a great, punchy element of garlic to it, with the reaper coming in after the garlic. I use this all the time and even do things like mixing it with mayo for people who don't like spice because the flavour is so good. I would also say it's pretty middle of the road in terms of thickness, not mash thick but certainly not thin either. I try so many hot sauces, and like a broad range, but this is one that's always in the fridge. I should say it does have a tendency to separate so give it a good shake before use to allow it to recover its brown/orange colour. I've had no issues with longevity and I certainly always finish the bottle before there's any chance of the sauce going bad.

Really freakin’ spicy! Was worried it wouldn’t be spicy enough after reading some of the reviews but it’s perfect for me. It’s very hot but a tolerable, enjoyable heat. And it has so much flavour too - really impressed with this sauce. Wasn’t as spicy coming out as it was going in, so that was a nice surprise!

This hot sauce is spicy and it is made with current hottest chilli peppers in world The Carolina Reaper so please treat it with a bit of caution and respect. This sauce slightly sweet, tangy, spicy and is packed full of garlic flavour. You can add this to loads of different kinds of sauces, stews, pasta to add a bit of a kick. It is amazing in burger sauce it will liven up any kind of dish it goes well with chicken, steaks, pork you can make a marinade with it for a barbecue overall and extremely tasty, spicy versatile hot sauce that you could eat with almost anything.

I've wanted to try a hot sauce from the YouTube show Hot Ones for a while, and came across this one on Amazon. I picked it because I love garlic in everything, and I think most (if not all) of the sauces are sold in America primarily? This was #7 of the 10 hot sauces in season 8 and is 116,000 on the Scoville Scale for anyone wondering. The sauce has a bright orange colour, with a fairly liquidy consistency. The flavour tastes garlicky, but something else in it seems to compete with it. I want to say it's a smoky type of flavour, but maybe it's just the taste of the Carolina reaper pepper because apparently there aren't any smoke notes. As for the heat, it's fairly hot - the type of heat that will stay on your lips and gums for a few minutes. If you're looking for heat, this will give you it temporarily. I've been using it on my veggie burgers, but I'm also going to try it in my homemade veggie curry at some point. I'm getting used to the flavour, but I will probably branch out to others.

I bought this expecting a similar heat level to Encona Carolina Reaper sauce. I was wrong. This is a proper reaper sauce; the heat is immediate, long-lasting, powerful and cleansing. The sauce itself has a really nice taste but the heat also amplifies other flavours. Be cautious if you're not experienced but be brave and give it a go.

I can taste the garlic somewhat but it isnt as hot as i thought it would be. Looking at the scoville units its listed as 116,000 scovilles which is ok but its not going anything to get excited about. Value wise fairy expensive for what it is. Will finish it but you probably need 1/4 bottle per plate to get some heat. There ar emuch hotter reaper products out there around 1.2 million scovilles which is my preferred breakfast sauce.

I love this sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have always loved super duper spicy hot food stuffs. And upon seeing this on the show "Hot one's" I immediately ordered the sauce and boy-oh-boy was I impressed. . . it tastes amazing. The garlic content is pretty decent aswell, so it has a really sweet initial taste and then BOOOM!!! Your face melts off of your skull by the tongue. Top marks from me 💖💖💖💖

Hotter than any Hot ones sauce by a long way

First thing you noticed is the garlic. Smell and taste. Nice heat on the back end. I cook with it and it does the job nicely Great on pizza. But it pours out a little faster than I thought it would. Could use more garlic but I am a garlic lover

Heat hits you immediately, not too spicy but a lot of flavor. I recommend giving it a try!

I'm not even sure where to begin. I have seriously been blow away by this sauce, in more ways than one! I'll start by saying that I LOVE hot sauce, in all shapes and sizes, but I especially love sauces that that taste great, have a lot of heat, are versatile, and keep me wanting more. This is that sauce, in spades. Positives. - The sauce has a great consistency. It is a medium thickness, not thick enough to get clogged up in the neck of the bottle, but thick enough that it is not just going to spill all over when you try to pour it. It is fairly easy to dose out, which is important with a sauce this spicy. - The smell is not overwhelming. This is nice because my wife is sensitive to smells and will often make me eat in another room if I put hot sauce on my food (most of the time, it's worth it). - The ingredients. Oil based, no fillers, just goodness. - The taste. There is a great meeting of flavors in this sauce and if you were to taste it on its own, you can taste the slight hint of garlic (it's not overwhelming), the tang of the lime and mustard, and of course the sweet heat goodness of the reaper. - I really do put this stuff on everything, sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, soup, crackers... you name it. The bad. - This stuff is pricey. This is the most I have spent on a hot sauce. I will say that even though it is pricey, it has lasted for a while and in my opinion, worth the price paid. I have recommended this sauce to several of my friends, and anyone that has tried it has liked it to varying degrees. It is not the hottest stuff out there, but honestly for the taste and the heat, it is one of the best around!

Very very very hot! The sauce is very pale which made me think it was going to be a flavour over heat kind of sauce. While very flavourful, don't be deceived into dumping it on your pizza - it is SO spicy!!!!

I finally found the best balance between flavor and spiciness/hotness. At first, I didn't like the added lime juice taste, but I started liking it after a few tastings. I can't taste the garlic in it, even though it's there. Other than that, the amount of hotness if very adequate. The amount of flavor is very nice too, it's not just a burning sensation, but a party for my taste buds. Just to compare, "Sriracha" sauce tastes like ketchup after this one :) Which is great, as sriracha became kindda dull taste-wise lately. One small side-note to the manufacturer. It would've been VERY convenient to have this sauce in a squeezable bottle, similar to the sriracha one. This way, it would've been easier to control the dispensed amount. Otherwise, I'll definitely buy more of this once I run out of it. And the price is NOT an issue. You get a specialty product, expect to pay a premium for it!
