Label:
just professional. the facts little else. but if you enjoy the brand the black label is striking and it foreshadows the smoky notes of the sauce
Looks:
dark dark green, has a little black to it.
Aroma:
here is where the smoke starts
Taste:
truly peppery, then smoky. There is little doubt then heat is there but the dynamic layers of flavor offer more than just heat. smoky, fruity and hot.
Heat:
again you can tell this sauce starts and ends with habanero!
Overall:
absolutely my favorite complex hot sauce. the brands green sauce is my every day go-to

Label:
Standard El Yucateco logo with Black Label Reserve banner
Looks:
Black, almost charcoal colour, fairly runny so pours easily
Aroma:
Unique, very smoky habanero smell
Taste:
Unlike any other habanero sauce, it has a charred, smoky almost acrid flavour from the roasted peppers. This is a sauce that likes strong meats and cheeses, it doesn't taste good straight off the spoon but team it with some brisket or a cheeseburger and it suddenly comes into its own. There is no sweetness whatsoever.
Heat:
It's got some heat alright, the manufacturer claims 10K SHU which puts it just behind the brown XXX sauce. As usual with Habanero peppers the heat is almost immediate
Overall:
A very unique smoky Habanero sauce which won't be everybody's cup of tea, but for certain applications it's without equal.
