Empress Ghost Pepper Maqaw Hot Sauce

Available from Chef Shop when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

5 oz bottle - Taiwan To the eye, it has the same nice orange color, very pleasant looking and a little misleading. Friendly is not its middle name. This pepper is hot and it jumps out at you and for me all the way to the back of my throat. One dip of the tongue and my head is exploding and the towel is out. A sip gives you a nice sweet feel before everything explodes. The tingling is hot, and has some fire. My mouth is not quite burning because that’s the wrong word. Exploding is the wrong word
