HEAT: 4 OUT OF 5
Not for the faint of heart, this sauce was a special request from our beloved heat freak fans that we have since opened up to the rest of the universe. Made with almost 90% Louisiana-grown orange habaneros (we liked that flavor the best from all our testing), you'll get a unique punch of deep, powerful, sustained heat that is offset by a sweet aroma and taste. Many of our fans will use this sauce to "spike" Dead Red when making wings.
So as not to distract from that sweet-heat combination, we add a touch less salt so that the true flavor of the habanero pepper really pops in the sauce. You can set your watch by the habanero pepper—it delivers a fairly consistent heat and flavor even in varying conditions.
Why we love The General's Hot Sauce
They are VETERAN OWNED & CREATING JOBS FOR VETS (Just Like Us)
Serve the greater good by creating jobs for veterans, and by donating a meaningful percentage of their profits back to organizations that support our troops, veterans, and their families.
They use AMERICAN GROWN PEPPERS
Support the American farmer by growing all their peppers in the U.S. They think you should be able to trace every pepper back to the acre of land where it was grown, and they can do just that.
They use 86% PEPPERS IN EVERY BOTTLE
Produce the highest quality American-grown, all-natural hot sauce possible. Their hot sauce contains 86% actual peppers, while the industry standard is only 20%. A lot of what they do is manual, old-school work. It's decidedly inefficient, but it's worth it.
They are HAVING FUN & SUPPORTING THEIR PARTNERS
Build an honorable company that supports their partners, and that they can all be proud of - not to mention, have as much fun as humanly possible while they do it.
For them IT'S NOT A RACETO BE THE BIGGEST
Nor will they cut corners to be the cheapest. They'd much rather focus on making a hot sauce that is 86% aged American-grown peppers. If you're looking for cheaply made, cheaply priced products that are loaded with chemicals or cheap filler ingredients (like extracts, xanthan gum, or even water), they are definitely the wrong company for you. But if you care about authentic, all-natural products made by an organization that is committed to goals that extend far beyond just maximizing profits, then check out their flavors.
