CaJohn's El Chupacabra Hot Sauce

This sauce is incredibly spicy and packed with the distinctive taste of superhots. For "hotness" reference, I had a pea sized amount 15 minutes ago, and while I'm drinking coffee now my tongue is still a bit numb and tingly. It's the type of hot where if you were to pour a teaspoon and eat it, you might very well spend part of the day in the bathroom regardless of your heat tolerance. The isn't really a sauce you want to pour over your eggs unless you particularly feel like suffering. It's more of a sauce where you want to add 3 drops to a bowl of chili. and you'll still end up with a **** hot bowl of chili.It's not very sweet or vinegary, and there's not a ton of distinctive flavors other than getting smashed in the face with peppers. The herbal and earthy tumeric notes and a bit of tropical tang from the peppers themselves are what comes through for me. There are more spices in the back but heat takes over nearly instantly.It has a nice mix of superhots and no extract. The sauce is fairly thick. If you need a new hottest sauce in your lineup, this is a great choice. The Holy Jolokia is another good choice if you want a slightly thinner sauce and more vinegary sauce with a distinct ghost pepper flavor.

It is very hot without having any extract. It has a good flavor that is compatible with a variety of foods. Some other hot sauces can cause gastric distress and this one isn't so bad if you are used to eating spicy stuff.

Bought this because someone mentioned it tastes close to Zombie Apocalypse and was less expensive. The taste is pleasantly tart as opposed to the few other hot sauces I've purchased that turned out to be sweeter (which I don't care for), but it's too close to being a basic vinegar sauce like Tabasco. That's pretty much the only thing I taste is the vinegar, even after vigorously shaking the bottle. It's only about as spicy as Tabasco too.I'll definitely finish the bottle but I wouldn't spend $12 on it again.

This is one of the best tasting and hottest all natural sauces that I own. When it comes to hot sauces Ive become a bit of a connoisseur especially when it comes to all natural heat. Two brands immediately stand out. HellFire Hot sauces and CaJohn's. What makes this sauce so unique is it's mustard base and to my knowledge one of the very few to have it. It has an absolutely wonderful flavor profile but make no mistake..... The peppers are the star. This line up ain't for the faint of heart and will knock you on your butt if your not careful. We're talking Moruga, Trinidad, Bhut Jolokia (ghost), and Scotch Bonnet!!!! Best of all this isn't some watered down neutered sauce. This is a thick pasty monster of a hot sauce that any Chili Head can truly appreciate. The flavor profile is a 10/10, heat is a 8/10 (keep in mind I have a high tolerance), overall 9/10 for me. Literally goes with any meal. Give it a go if you've got the guts.

As most of these sauces, little on the weak side for me but taste good.

The media could not be loaded. This was one a wonderful, thick hot sauce. Cajohns sold to a new owner and they watered down the sauce with vinegar.This is true for at least El Chupacabra, Rougaroux, Leviathan, and Trinidad Scorpion.It truly is said that the new owners would destroy a great brand like this.

I have a good variety of sauces made with naga jholokias, scorpions, reapers, etc., and what sets el chupacabra apart from the rest is how well the flavor of the chili peppers comes through. After the initial flavor, which is dominated by the 7-pots, there is a pungent, almost bitter flavor which (I think) is mostly from the scotch bonnets. This bitterness isn't present in other hot sauces and I could see how not everyone would care for it. The bitterness subsides quickly and the very pleasant aftertaste of the 7-pots remains for a long time. I have trouble noticing the other ingredients, which include carrots, mustard, garlic, and spices. Just chili peppers. And that's fine with me!This sauce is so thick and chunky that I'd almost call it a puree rather than a sauce. It can be hard to get it out of the bottle. I might prefer to spoon it out of a jar.And you've probably figured it out by now, but let me say it anyway: El Chupacabra is BLAZING hot! It is entirely tip-of-the tongue heat, nothing in the back of the throat (although you'll feel a very nice warming in your esophagus long after you eat it). And be careful because it is very slow to hit you, so if you're not pacing yourself you'll have plenty of time to eat too much before the heat finally comes.

One of Cajohn's monster series sauces, this sauce brings a good amount of heat and lots of flavor. I personally feel that the spice profile of El Chupacabra goes very well with many ethnic cuisines and I'm glad that I picked this one up.I would say that this is quite hot, but not ridiculous. I probably wouldn't offer it to someone who isn't a fellow enthusiast, but it's something I can really enjoy without any suffering.

Good.

Ils ont changé la recette et ce n'est plus dutout le même gout ni la même texture. Très liquide et très vinaigré. Je risque de la jeté tellement c'est déceuvant.
