357 Original Hot Sauce

This sauce is wonderful! Bought it for a friend of mine as he is into hot stuff, the hotter the better he says. So, I went to his home a few days ago and his wife made some soup, and I asked if he tried it yet. He said, nope too scared, so I said, break it out and we both added 1 drop to the soup. I was pleasantly surprised by how 1 drop ramped up the hotness to just the right level! As one would expect the more bites I took the hotter it got, but it did not get to the painful level. Was also surprised at the nice flavor as well. So, I would give this sauce a 10 stars if there were 10 to give! Who knows maybe one of these days I will add to 2 drops to a bowl and see what happens. :-) Please READ THE LABEL if you are new to really hot sauces, as this one is HOT. No joke! I usually use El Yucateco Chile Habanero hot sauce the green one you see here in soup, on burgers, to make bean dip etc.. and put maybe a dozen drops in a bowl of soup. Really nice flavor. It is rated 8500 on Scoville and this stuff is rated 357,000 That is 42 times as hot. So please be careful! Enjoy!

I've had a lot of hot sauces, but this one really is something else. Usually I go for the sauces with Carolina Reapers, as they are said to be the hottest peppers on Earth. I have a bottle of Blair's Ultra Death (made from these peppers), which is supposedly over 1 million Scoville units. Having gotten comfortable with that sauce, I expected Mad Dog 357 (at 357,000 Scoville units) to be a piece of cake. Boy was I wrong. This sauce is different. Other sauces have spice, but this one has a kick. That is, a drop of this hits you immediately as though you've just been kicked in the face. After that initial wave (which often induces coughing), you'll feel the lingering heat ramp up. My lips often get pins and needles from this sauce, which very rarely happens to me in quite the same way from other sauces. All of this happens from just a single small drop. If you want a sauce so hot that it will leave you in pain, this is it. Beyond the extreme heat though, this sauce also tastes great. It has a deep, slightly fruity (from the Habaneros), peppery taste. The combination of the unique heat and great flavor earns it 5 stars for me, though I'd be careful about giving it as a gift to someone, since it's just that hot.

I'm a fan of spicy foods and sauces, but Mad Dog is on a whole different level. The first time I tried it, I didn't even register the sensation as heat; instead, it was like someone had beaten my tongue with a hammer. The pain lasted for hours. The next day, I tried it again, but only put a drop into my bowl of beans and corn. It was still too much. I spent a month trying, unsuccessfully, to build my tolerance to it or to find a way to enjoy it. Even dipping a toothpick into the sauce and stirring it into my meal resulted in such intense heat that it was all I could taste. The pain simply never gave way to the burn I was looking for, and I was about to give up on it. Finally, I decided to mix up my own sauce. It's nothing sophisticated: some tomato-based Ortega, a generous portion of Marie Sharp's delicious Habanero sauce, a splash of Truff Hotter Black Truffle Hot Sauce, and a few drops of Mad Dog. The results were magical. Smoothness, rich flavor, and heat. So, so much heat. As far as I'm concerned, this stuff is about as edible as napalm straight out of the bottle. However, if you get creative with how you use it, it's an absolutely brilliant ingredient.

As a fan of Hot Ones I thought I'd try this classic from earlier seasons at the hotter end of the spectrum. I really wanted to know what the guests were experiencing. I got my bottle last night and just dabbed it with my fingertip at first- instant tears and nose running. The heat hits you fast, then mellows, slightly, and then rebounds like hellfire. I felt it in all of my mucous membranes. I had happened to make crab cakes for dinner and I wondered how it might play off a cool and creamy tartar sauce, so I mixed a couple drops with some butter and used it as a spread before the tartar sauce. It was delicious and added a nice kick. It definitely builds. Today I thought I'd experiment and mix a couple drops into some mayo for a turkey sandwich. One drop would have sufficed. I had to scrape some off and add more mayo. I'm still on fire. My ears are on fire. I finished nibbling carefully on this sandwich well over a half hour ago. I think if one were very careful with adding drops, it could make an amazing and unique spicy mayo with lots of uses. One note I haven't seen mentioned in the reviews yet- you can taste the cane extract, and it makes it sweeter than you'd expect. When I first tasted it, I thought it was cinnamon or cloves. So depending on how you want the predominant flavors to taste, this might not be for you. Despite the extreme heat, this sweetness comes through pretty strong. I prefer a more sour, vinegary, or limey flavor so just keep that in mind, YMMV.

Are there hotter sauces out there, yes, but do not be fooled, this stuff is dynomite! I put two drops into a large pot of chili and you feel it. Be warned, this stuff is hot!!!!

it is hot about 1/2 teaspoon on a chip and I thought this is the hottest sauce I ever had and its taste is okay. I thought I can take this, its not to bad. I was very wrong about three minutes later there was a burning in my stomach I started to sweat like I was getting over a fever I also needed a toilet. I grabbed a bottled water an ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. I emptied my bowls and sat there sweating so much drinking all my water and hunched over on the toilet with my stomach burning. Telling myself it would end. about 15 minutes later and I was soaking wet. I was able to get off the toilet and get to the fridge there I ate tuna salad and it helped a lot. its about 30 minutes later now and im doing okay. I will never under estimate sauce again. I will never have this again. I am so happy I was home when I ate it. I would not give out at a party there will not be enough toilets and people will feel they are dying. Much like a bad drug experience. Once you take it and start feeling it you realize its to late you cant change your mind you must live with what you have done. I would tell a friend not to do it. their is nothing good about it. I gave it 5 stars on everything but tastes because it is what it says it is very hot there is a warning and legal statement on the bottle and I didn't listen.

Num Num Num...a tasty burn again and again. This is a great sauce, life altering even. Allow me to elucidate the plausible reactions your feable frame might encounter upon ingesting this miracle cure-all. At first waft, this potent pepper elixir delivers a brain tingling reaction of the highest level. My sense of smell was elevated and my vision immediately improved. With extreme senses in tote i was able to easily "feel the bern" from this bottle. An immediate caugh, a twitch, and a yeet yeet...and i was off to the palace of pain. A few moments later and the hiccups began. Oh sweet mercy was life after 357 beginning...my thoughts became clearer, my bald spot faded, and the virility i thought lost was throbbing through my veins. After the burn left the building i felt numb and slightly dead inside...a world without 357 magnum hot sauce is a world not fit for enjoyment. I sampled this sweet heat blend on apples and other delectable fruity morsels, oh My-lanta...sweet bliss ensued. An amazing flavor on all of your delectable gastronomic dealings. This gets 5 stars for burn and 10 stars for life altering sweet bliss. A definitive addition for your collection of palate altering nirvana.

Whoever packaged my order of this deserves to be fired. They decided an envelope and some bubble wrap was sufficient. It wasn't. In my excitement, I didn't question the undoubtedly questionable packaging. I ripped open the package and took out the bubble wrapped bottle. As I unwrapped it, to my horror, the broken bottom of the bottle fell onto my hand and carpet. I rushed to my kitchen, and in one of the least thought out and reckless moves of my life, I washed out the bottle with hot water. It was my greatest mistake of that day. The already toxic fumes clinged to the steam causing an absolute hellish gas to begin spewing from the sink. All too quickly the horrid concoction filled the air of our kitchen. My sister witnessed the horror, and believed me to be exaggerating the suffering my mistake had caused me. My lungs were breached by the tainted air, and induced a violent uncontrollable retching. I told her to get to safety as I ran outside myself. She quickly realized I was sincere as the gaseous death reached her. My grandmother believed she was stronger than the toxisity that now filled our kitchen. In a brave act she ignored our warnings to see for herself the calamity I had wrought onto our home. Her lungs, weakened by age and asthma, were instantly marred. She nearly fell to the hell-smoke's clutches, but in an act of mercy from a divine power, she was able to escape and seek safety in the open air of our backyard. After the s**t-storm had lessened, I realized that I still had some of the deadly sauce on my hand. I quickly doused it off with water from our hose, but it was too late. The sauce had inflicted a chemical burn that haunted me for nearly a week after. I was unable to take warm showers and harsh sunlight irritated my skin greatly. While this sauce almost single-handedly killed me and my loved ones via suffocation, I feel obliged to give it five stars. I knew this sauce would bring me pain when I purchased it, but I gravely underestimated the true power of my foe, and have been taught to never make such a mistake again. This sauce has humbled me with it's cruel and unapologetic potency. Use caution when handling this product, especially if it comes in an envelope.
