RetailSource Death Sauce with Chipotle and Skull Key Chain, Original, 5 oz.

A really nice mid-heat sauce if you need some spice.

My husband is a huge chili-head who is intent on trying nearly every hot sauce he can get his hands on, and grows some insanely hot peppers in our garden (for example 7-pot chilis which are of scorpion chili descent). We have tried dozens of different brands of hot sauces and have at least 5 at any time in our house including: Sriracha, Huy Fong chili paste, Valentina Extra Hot, Da Bomb Insanity, El Yucateco Habanero, Pain, Mad Dog 357, as well as grocery staples such as every variety of Tabasco, Cholula, Tapatio, Crystal Louisiana, Frank's RedHot.To hubby, Blair's Original Death Sauce is just ho hum in terms of spiciness, and After Death is his formulation of choice for everyday use. But for me, Original Death is the perfect hot sauce in terms of spiciness and flavor. It's not just heat, but also truly tasty! After all the ones we've bought over the years, Blair's Original is by far my favorite.My only regret is that this sauce is not available in larger bottles. If I could, I would buy this stuff by the quart so I could make my own Death wings. Oh well, I'll take it however I can get it.Side note - I wish these didn't have to come with the skull keychain every time. The first one was cool, but now we have 5 and I'm just going to start throwing them away. I feel like I'm being forced to pay for something I don't want or need. But this is far from being a deal breaker, as I have no other option for purchasing the best hot sauce I've ever tasted.

I got my first bottle of this 30 years ago and as a kid it was a bit too hot. But as I grew I could eat hotter and hotter. This is not the hottest obviously, but it’s the most tasty “hot sauce” you can slather on anything… in my opinion. No extract which I think gives things a chemical taste. Just peppers and spices is in this best all around sauce I’ve found.

I'm a big fan of Blair's original Original Death Sauce, but I thought I'd give the chipotle version a try since I love that smokey chipotle flavor. This is one awesome sauce. It was instantly my favorite chipotle sauce, with just the right level of smokiness.The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it's not quite as hot as the original Death Sauce. On my own personal hotness scale, I rate the original Death Sauce at 4-alarm on a 5-alarm scale. Dave's Insanity Sauce comes in at 5-alarm, and for me it's just pure pain with no actual flavor. No thanks. 4-alarm is my limit for hotness, and the original Death Sauce hits the mark perfectly. It's right at the top end limit before pain takes over completely from flavor. This version, with chipotle, is real hot, but it's not as hot as the original recipe. If the original is 4-alarm, I put this at around 3.5-alarm. Hot, but it could be hotter. But all-in-all it's a terrific chipotle hot sauce.

Perfect for what I was looking for, a heavier kick than normal, however I was at the the 10k range now supposedly this is 30k scoville. A nice step up, still a nice, very light afterburn 30 min later

Love heat love it

Great taste and great heat. You will love this original sauce. If you are heat crazy, you can find all the heat you want in their other options

I Love this sauce! True it’s not flaming hot, but I have found it to be my favorite in taste across the whole Blair's lineup or any other. I love buying all different brands & types of sauces but always come back to this in the end. It goes perfect on pretty much everything - eggs, hot dogs / burgers, chili, soup, etc... If you like more heat After Death sauce might be better for you, although I don't enjoy the taste anywhere near as much.
