    Label:

    As you expect from Tabasco. Simple, effective.

    Looks:

    Deep brown, darker than regular tabasco. Reminiscent of their chipotle sauce. Liquidy like the other sauces, maybe a little thicker.

    Aroma:

    Like most very hot hot sauces, it has that samey super sharp pepper smell they all have. After smelling it, I thought to myself "yeah its another one of those". Yknow those sauces that are really spicy but they almost all smell and taste the same.

    Taste:

    Its just sharp and hot, like other really hot hot sauces. Im not a fan of the almost tasteless straight up spicy taste.

    Heat:

    Very spicy. Couple drops is all it takes. I rate the spice high, but that doesnt mean I like it. To enjoy the flavour more, Ill need to put more in, but then im hurting myself.

    Overall:

    Great for the chilli head. Great pocket size bottle thats fun to take around and show off to your friend. Not great as a proper hot sauce. It lacks the flavour depth of regular tabasco and over does the spiciness.

    Label:

    nothing too fancy but i like it.

    Looks:

    it just looks like tobasco hot sauce.

    Aroma:

    one wiff and you know its not typical Tabasco. slight sweet smell and faint vinegar. the smell of the scorpion pepper stands out.

    Taste:

    the scorpion habanero stands out and goes well with the fruit in the Ingredients. it has a slight sweetness on the back end, but it's very mild. different seasonings stand out depending on what you put this on.

    Heat:

    this isn't crazy hot but i would definitely place it above el yucateco xxxtra hot kutbil-ik. the heat is initially sharp but fades off quickly. it seems to hit mostly on the tip on the tounge.

    Overall:

    another well balanced hot sauce. this goes well with many things, especially with fajitas and chili. i keep a bottle at work and use it quite often.
