The General’s Hot Sauce Heat Seeker Hot Sauce Gift Set - Gourmet Variety Pack...

I absolutely love this company's products. For a few years now, I've received the General's Reaper Actual as a Christmas gift and it had fast become my favorite sauce. The key thing is that they are a relatively thick sauce, I'm not a fan of loose, drippy sauces, i like things that stick and coat. It is incredibly hot, but full of flavor. I recently ordered a sample pack of their other sauces and have been enjoying each one. I like dabbing them on chips to explore the individual flavors. So far, I've tasted Danger Close, which, to me, is somehow hotter than Reaper Actual, although it lists lower. Great as additives in chili and such, but brutal on its own. Grunt Green is delicious on its own, very much a mild Verde vibe. Dead Red, while mild is tasty and a wonderful addition in cooking. The Maple Mayhem is a little loose unless refrigerated, so I'm looking forward to using it on breakfast foods like eggs, sausage and pancakes or waffles. Cracking into a bottle of Shock and Awe, I find it to be a flavorful habenero sauce. The citrus isn't overly prominent, but it coaxes one to keep tasting while the heat lingers on the lips. Hooah Jalepeno comes packing some heat combined with an almost sweet flavor that lingers on the tip of the tongue.

Got my husband this grenade-themed hot sauce. It's so tasty, it really explodes with flavor on everything! The reusable glass grenade bottles are definitely a blast. You could say this sauce really drops the flavor bomb!

This is by far my favorite hot sauce brand on the market. It tastes great and is definitely high quality, you can really taste the real peppers. They also range from low spice to high spice. This is a perfect gift for hot sauce lovers.

I didn't buy this for the sauce, but purely for the nostalgia. It's actually a gorgeous bottle with a screwtop, which is stuck to the "pull lever." I'm thinking that would break off pretty easily, but so far I haven't busted it. As for the sauces themselves, they're not that special: SHOCK AND AWE — is my favorite and it tastes somewhat like Tabasco, but a little hotter. It's nothing special for the price. RED DEAD —is very MILD, almost like ketchup. It has a sweet tomato like flavor, though my friend thinks it's made of lava (she's a total wimp). I'm not really sure what to say about the flavor, too. It just wasn't special, so I haven't gone back to it since I first tasted it. Perhaps, it would be good on French fries? MARINE GREEN —is one of your typical Verde hot sauces. It's pretty tasty, medium/hot, so not too bad. I'd like to try it on fish tacos, my favorite thing (or only thing?) on which use Verde sauces. Overall, if you're not buying this for the totally cool bottles, don't bother. There are much better sauces out there. You could replace shock and awe with Tabasco scorpion sauce, for example. Perhaps that would be better. You can also replace the red dead with something like a chilly ketchup. I'm not kidding. It pretty much tasted like ketchup to me… But was something else added… besides Louisiana cayenne peppers (whatever they are)? Literally, all of the sauces come with the exact same ingredients label, so why is each sauce a different color? And why does each sauce taste very different from one another? Am I missing something? Or is this ingredients label duplicated for three very different hot sauces? Honestly, here is where the company dropped the ball. You can't give all these bottles the same label when they are literally different colors and taste different from one another.

Some of the best sauces I've had

Flavor. Flavor. Flavor. Some of the greatest, if not the greatest hot sauces I’ve ever had….and I’ve had a ton. Awesome bottles and the fact that it’s all made by veterans is the icing on the cake. Well done guys!!!

My grandson loved it. However I had to forward it to him as it was delivered to my home rather than to his address in Texas (as requested)

Gifted to a family member who loves hot sauces. He was obsessed! They taste great, are unique, and the bottles are beautiful. He said he will keep buying these sauces, they’re that good!
