Original Juan, Pain Is Good, Batch #37 Garlic Hot Sauce. I love hot sauce and I love garlic, so this is really one of the most perfect sauces there is. The flavor is the best of any sauce I have ever had. The garlic flavor is distinct but not overpowering and the heat is hot enough to make the forehead sweat but not unmanageable. It is just the right combination of flavor and heat. The habanero flavor is robust and fresh tasting.
This sauce is a thicker one with very small pieces in it, it is somewhere between a paste and a runny sauce, it needs to be shaken as it begins to settle and separate after a few days.
On my scale of 1 to 10, I give this sauce a 10 in flavor and an 7 in heat. It adds an astounding flavor and enough heat to make my forehead sweat and a medium lived manageable discomfort. It has a quick to come on heat that wears off within a minute or two without having to resort to a glass of milk. On a standard pulled pork sandwich I use about 15 drops.
I could only find one website that states the Scoville rating for this sauce, they claimed it was 3,251. I am sure this is incorrect. My guess (and I admit my guess could be way off) is that this sauce is somewhere between 15,000 and 30,000, yeah that’s a big range but it’s the best I could do.
