Big Nugg Company Southwest Chipotle Q Sauce (4/5)
Decent flavor from a competition barbecue team that wanted to bring “the exact sauces” they use in competition to you. Like Blender’s this one provides a strong vinegar oomph but not quite as overpowering. The three pepper blend (Cayenne, Chipotle, Red Chili) provides a great balance of flavor and heat – just enough to heat up the ole tongue a few degrees. Excellent consistency, natural looking specks floating around inside the glass bottle, but the quality of ingredients is on the cheaper side (high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, and preservatives). The bottle and label are decent looking, but the label is quite busy, with about 5 different fonts on the front – which gives the impression of a small design budget.
