The General's Hot Sauce

A premium, all-natural hot sauce made from 100% American-grown peppers. The General's Hot Sauce is a veteran owned company, profits support military and veteran families and we like that.

Shock & Awe 4/5 heat rating

• Not for the faint of heart, this sauce was a special request from heat freak fans. Made with Louisiana-grown orange habaneros, you'll get a unique punch of deep, powerful, sustained heat that is offset by a sweet aroma and taste. Many will use this sauce to "spike" Dead Red when making wings, it checks in (1-10) around an 8.5-9, according to most folks. So as not to distract from that sweet-heat combination, this sauce has 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.

Danger Close 4/5 heat rating

• A blend of red cayenne and orange habanero peppers. We think it's the PERFECT sauce for making buffalo wings--it packs a strong cayenne flavor, but also brings a solid backdoor kicker of habanero heat. More heat than our best-seller, Dead Red, but it won't melt your brain like a heavy dose of Shock & Awe. 

Dead Red 3/5 heat rating

• Classic signature product. Made from Louisiana-grown, fully ripe red cayenne peppers hand-picked at exactly that right time, and then salted down and aged until the mash is perfect for conversion and bottling. An all-natural product that is almost 90% cayenne peppers, this sauce packs a truly authentic, fresh cayenne flavor that will be very different when compared to other sauces that typically have a stronger concentration of vinegar. Depending upon each growing season's weather patterns, heat (1-10) will range between 6-7. This sauce won't melt your brain, but depending upon your palate, you may need to reach for a cold beverage.

 Grunt Green 2.5/5 heat rating

• Green cayenne peppers picked just before they turn red can bring a truly unique, tangy, earthy flavor; still carries the same fresh flavor as Dead Red, and that same rich concentration of all-natural cayenne peppers. Much of the harvesting of the green peppers happens at the end of a growing season, when these mature, perfectly balanced (but somewhat stubborn) peppers just decide to stay green; as such, we usually age these peppers a bit longer. A "late heat" that won't jump out at you right away, very popular at the breakfast table, the perfect balance of flavor and heat, still brings a solid heat (1-10) of 5-6, some vintages run a touch hotter during hot, dry summers.

Hooah Jalapeno 2/5 heat rating

• HOOAH Jalapeño is carefully blended from precisely aged, American-grown peppers. HOOAH Jalapeño carries a mild-medium heat profile, and is a versatile flavor that can be used anywhere. We love it on tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and (our favorite) scrambled eggs. If you want rich pepper flavor with just a casual hint of heat, you found the right product.

Maple Mayhem 4/5 heat rating

• This all-natural, habanero-infused maple syrup, the perfect balance of sweet and heat, is made from the highest quality ingredients. Vermont's maple trees provide the sweet, and our lightly salted, sun-dried ground habanero pepper mash provides the heat. There are no preservatives, chemicals, or thickeners of any kind. Use your imagination with Maple Mayhem: maple-glazed salmon, chicken and waffles, grilled brussel sprouts, or caramelized pork chops; the possibilities are endless. Should be refrigerated after opening.
