This stuff is the real deal! Not for newbs, very very hot! It has an excellent flavor and heat, and must be used in very small amounts, or it is more of a Bhut Jolokia experience, rather than enjoying some really hot sauce. a drop or two is really all that is necessary. I was very happy to find it again here, and bought 2! That will likely last a good 5 years. Like I said, it's a few drops hot sauce for us picante heads! The 4 oz bottle is much larger that the last one I got as a gift, so that really rocks too. If you love habanero's like I do, you need this sauce! You will sweat. :)
