Rufus Teague Touch O’ Heat (5/5)
Like their other sauce, Rufus Teague’s Touch O’ Heat has some excellent attributes – Gluten Free, HFCS Free, no strange ingredients, has a cool flask shaped bottle, and has a cool character and backstory in Rufus.
This sauce hits a soft spot with me. It’s one of the kinds I love – a not-too-sweet tomato based sauce with a little bit of heat that sneaks up on you. But don’t be fooled, this is far from your average Kraft-like flavor with hot sauce added. It’s got a lot of complexity – like a finely aged wine.
I really like molasses-sweetened sauces, mmm… a dark, deep, rich, almost chocolatey color and flavor intermingling with Worcestershire and soy and something tangy and spectacular that packs a kick (raisin paste and orange ). It has a little heat built-in which makes eating more fun … every bite of a a recent set of BBQ drumsticks cooked with this stuff got hotter and hotter with every bite to the point of thinking “hmm my lips are tingly.” It’s not too hot – even my 5 year old daughter also sampled it – she said this (not making it up) “can I have more, I love that barbecue sauce!”
The color is great – reddish brown color like a brownie with red highlights. The taste is great – the most distinctive flavors to me are: molasses sweetened BBQ sauce, a strong, almost A1 steak sauce-style tang, and the savory/salty flavor of soy sauce.
