I purchased a bunch of various sauces a few months ago and nearly forgot that the package included Mad Dog's Ghost Pepper sauce. I am a big fan of the regular 357 hot sauce and noticed a long time ago that they extended their line of sauces to include ghost pepper blends. I took a mental note to get a bottle of their regular ghost pepper sauce and placed it within the large order. Fast forward 3 months: I opened up my pantry the other day and, with surprise, noticed this bottle with skulls staring at me. Seeing how I forgot about it, it was like an early Christmas present! To waste no more time, I cooked a chicken sandwich and dripped a few drops of this ghost pepper hot sauce on top then took a seat.
The first bite and it took my breath away. I took another and got a good bit of sauce. The flavor hit me, which I wasn't a fan of. The pepper extract in the sauce made it very strong, almost sour tasting. Despite the flavor, I continued, and then the heat hit me. I got hiccups that temporarily prevented me from continuing. I was finally able to control them and finish the sandwich. I was sweating pretty well at this point and was glad to be done with the experiment.
Overall, I think it was a wise purchase and plan on using this sauce to blend in chili and other foods. Like its older brother, regular 357, it did not make a good topping and needs to be used as something to add heat, not flavor. They do make a "pure" ghost pepper sauce that does not use extracts. I plan on purchasing a bottle of this upon my next order and will review that once I burn my mouth on another great Mad Dog product!
