Tip of the Day: Tabasco Scorpion Sauce

John C. Dvorak is always on the hunt for a new tasty hot sauce and his latest find is Tabasco Scorpion Sauce from the famous Louisana Tabasco hot sauce company, McIhenny Co. Their Tabasco Scorpion Sauce’s heat is fueled by super-hot scorpion peppers.

John: It’s just a different tip… The reason is because it comes in the regular Tabasco sauce bottle, so it’s got a black label, and you’d think it might be Tabasco sauce. But no. Seriously, it’s made with scorpion peppers—one of the hottest peppers in the world. I don’t know where they make it or if they manufacture it in the same plant where they make Tabasco. It’s hard to say. I don’t know if it’s aged, but this is some Seriously Hot, and it’s called Seriously Hot.

It’s the kind of thing that you want to buy. It’s obscure, by the way—hard to find. At least I couldn’t. I just ran into it once, ever, in the wild. For your hot pepper-loving friends—and you’ve got one or two—or if you’re one yourself, I would recommend checking out a bottle of this. It’s not expensive. It comes in a small little Tabasco sauce bottle. It looks like Tabasco sauce, but it’s not. That’s my tip of the day.

Adam: Where is it manufactured?

John: Louisiana. And they do it with actual scorpion pepper? Yeah, and it looks to be 100% scorpion pepper.

Adam: And that scorpion pepper is from grinding up scorpions?

John: No. It’s a pepper called scorpion pepper. I’m sorry. I don’t know. I’m like, I’ve got a lot of scorpions here. Maybe I can make some pepper out of them. They’re not good for much else. It looks like a scotch bonnet of some sort, only it’s got a little tail on it.

I have never seen a scorpion pepper actually for sale anywhere, but I’m assuming they grow them somewhere. Interesting. These are the kind of new things that they’ve been developing—these super hot peppers. I’m not sure it’s good for the market, but for people who like this stuff… Yes, I’m willing to try it. I’m a little bit of a pepper guy, a little bit of a hot sauce guy. Not too much, but I’m looking forward to it.
