This is a magnificent, double-edged beast of a sauce. The rich bourbon-cherry base makes it dangerously delicious and easy to taste up front, but the Reaper punch means you must respect the bottle. It is perfect for both elevating gourmet barbecue and testing your limits.

The palate is greeted first by a rich, velvety wave of molasses-like brown sugar, lush black cherries, tart cranberries, and a smooth Kentucky bourbon finish. Immediately after this fruity introduction, the genuine Carolina Reaper payload detonates, unleashing a searing, clean, and roaring burn that coats the mouth and builds to an intense, sweat-inducing peak.
