I don't use hot sauce.  Tabasco is almost too hot for me.  But my husband loves hot sauce ... The hotter the better and he says this stuff is hot.  He barely touched his finger to the rim of the bottle for a taste and said it was the hottest he had tried so far.  That tells me one thing ...  there is NO WAY I can eat this.  Good news, it's all his to enjoy which he said is just fine by him.
