It’s not the hottest sauce but it is the best tasting hot sauce that I have ever tasted. Very flavorful. I now have a new favorite hot sauce. I wished though that it would have been better protected through shipping. These are glass bottles & had no padding inside box. So the glass bottles where moving around quite a. It. I inspected the bottles & found no visible damage so I felt it was safe to consume. & was pleasantly suprised at how good it tasted.
