Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition Hot Sauce, Over 1 Million Scoville, Carolina Reaper, Scorpion & Ghost Peppers, Enhanced with No. 9 Plutonium Pepper Extract, 5 oz.

EXTREMELY HOT, but worth it! This hot sauce is not for the faint of heart. Insane heat level, but the flavor is complex and rich. Adds a kick to any dish. Handle with care (and a glass of milk nearby)! 10/10 for daredevils

Nice and spicy! After running through a few bottles of supposedly higher scoville units that were just not that spicy to me, I decided to purchase this known quantity and it did not disappoint. I had previously purchased the silver edition about 10 years ago and it had a very good kick to it so I figured the gold edition would definitly satisy my desire for serious heat.

Coming in at 1,000,000 Scovilles this sauce is the real deal. I love spicy food and I've been building up my collection, but this is one of my favorites. It's definitely a keeper and one I plan on getting again. It comes with a little novelty keychain as well. It's a little bullet that unscrews into a tiny little spoon. Not much to say about it, but it looks cool and is a nice little thing to keep. Not going to lie though I can't really find a discernable flavor while eating this, but instead I what I can tell you is that it doesn't taste like crap at least. Comparing it to other hot sauces at this range most of them have the heat, but a seriously bad aftertaste. This is clean pure heat with not strings attached. It'll burn your entire mouth, but hey at least you aren't gagging. (From the taste anyways) 10/10 I will be buying this again. Good clean heat without the insanely (bad) flavor. Neat little key chain as a bonus.

We are all of us individuals, and that includes us 'chili heads'! Those brave enough, or crazy enough, to try this sauce had differing opinions, though all agreed that it was HOT! One thought it was smokey, one thought it was sour, and the third thought is was pure heat, and one, well, he said 'meh', not that hot all, though it was not tasted in my presence, so we shall see next week when I bring in the truly hot Mad Dog choices, up to, and including Plutonium, and rest assured, I shall be witness to that sampling... Myself, I think it is a bit less 'sweet', than the regular Mad Dog 357, but with obviously more heat within the onset, and more lasting, but still a great tasting sauce, within mine own opinion, and can mix it with lesser heat sauces to 'improve' the kick, but not overwhelm the taste of those such as my personal everyday, everyday sauce, Cholula... I fully recommend ANY Mad Dog product with the following warning...try a very small sample, i.e., the quarter inch of a toothpick to sample, before you choose to start dumping drops and drops onto something you are going to eat, for two reasons.... One, this may be more sauce than you think you can handle, and two, why ruin a meal when you cannot partake of what you have 'sauced'? Good luck, and happy saucing!

This stuff is the real deal. The hottest I've tried that still has a true sauce flavor instead of just extract heat. You can taste and smell the garlic and onion, and the peppers...especially the reaper. It doesn't have the dark smoky flavor like some of the sauces so it seems to go with more foods. The heat is certainly intense and you need to make sure you don't have any cuts on your lips or tongue or you will regret it in about 3 seconds. Gives a nice warm body buzz for about an hour and you'll even get that slight endorphin rush/energy boost. The little bullet spoon attached is actually about the right size for a large bite of food. A large drop or two will flavor a quart of salsa very nicely. One drop on a taco is rippin' hot! Take every precaution not to get this on your fingers as you will likely end up rubbing your eyes when they start watering from the heat. Also, there is no comparison flavor wise to the Silver Edition or the 600,000 Scoville Mad Dog sauce. Far better and a step up in quality in my opinion. This sauce goes well with eggs/omelettes, red meats, salsa, chili, hot dogs, anything Mexican, your girlfriend, melted cheeses, stuffed veggies, certain cocktails, blackened chicken salads, etc. Price is decent for this level of heat AND flavor.

First off, 4 stars from me is usually as good as it gets. 5 stars is reserved for some life-changing thing that I can now no longer live without. And while this is a tasty sauce, it doesn't quite hit that level. But it's still worth getting if you like Spicy Sauces. Even if you're a purist who doesn't normally like extracts, try this one. It's legit tasty. For those wondering about the heat, yes, this sauce brings heat, but I disagree with anyone saying it's overpowering. I get a LOT of flavor out of this and in no way does the heat overwhelm that. As for flavors... To me, this is what would happen if Melinda's Hot Sauce took it up about 1000 notches on the heat index. It's a nice lime/vinegary, bright, lightly lightly sweet flavor... that also packs some serious mouth filling heat. It's not over the top heat, at least, to me. But what I think what people are reacting to is the immediacy of the heat (which is just a byproduct of using an extract) because it comes on fast and basically stays put at the level it initially hits you. Lingers well (minute or two) and repeated tastings do build up a bit, but I tend not to find it overbearing. Used so far on: - Back of the hand taste test (I do this with all sauces) - Reheated Potato and Leek Soup - Avocado and Smoked Ham Sandwhich - Tortilla Chips If you like very hot sauces (on the level of a Dawson's Ghost Pepper or Sichuan, or a Reaper Squeezin's) I'd give this one a try. If you've never had a very hot sauce before... I think I'd still recommend it. It's tasty, not over the top hot, the heat doesn't linger around forever, and it's versatile as a food additive if you need to dilute it out a bit. I prefer it to ALL of the Dave's Gourmet line up, and a lot of the "OH MAN THIS IS GONNA HURT YOU" type hot sauces.

I like the taste of it. It is really spicy, I recomend not using a lot on your food or you will burn your mouth off. Only issue I had was with the included keychain. The text on the keychain rubbed off.

Been using this hot sauce for a very long time. Just great. Taste is unbelievable and the heat's there
