OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE Please see review of The Sauce original flavor for a rundown of the outside the bottle characteristics (which are the same as this one). INSIDE THE BOTTLE OK let’s open the bottle and taste it! This rusty colored sauce has a great color and consistency were spot on – slightly redder than the […]
Trifecta Blazing Barbecue Sauce (5/5)
Trifecta sauces are a Kentucky based trio of sauces containing a mild, medium and hot variety. This review is for their Blazing Barbecue Sauce, their hot variety. Outside the Bottle Much like their mild and medium sauces, Trifecta’s Blazing Barbecue Sauce has a clean overall appearance but this one invites you inside like a scary […]
Huckleberry Habanero BBQ Sauce 4/5
Hoooooot! The fruity hot Huckleberry Habanero BBQ Sauce comes to us all the way from Florence Montana. It marks two firsts for me – the first sauce I’ve reviewed from Montana and the first sauce I’ve tried with huckleberries. The maker is Grandma Hoot Products hence the initials “GHP” on the front of the label […]
Smokehouse Woods Sweet Whispering Heat (4/5)
I really like the name Sweet Whispering Heat and how it immediately conjures up a sauce that starts sweet yet quietly sneaks up on you… Outside the Bottle Label quality is simple and high quality but has some unused real estate which could be useful to put a stronger image in front of the casual observer. […]
Griff’s Swamp Sauce Hot (5/5)
I just finished my review of Ohio-based BBQ Company Mudbug’s award winning sauce (2010 Scovie) and I just have to say that sometimes the simple things are truly best in life. You know I am one to appreciate something different: a little nutmeg here, some garlic/jalapeno there, a touch of apricot, or even putting as […]
Kissimmee Red Spicy Grillin’ & Dippin BBQ Sauce (4/5)
This is the sister sauce to the Kissimmee Red Original Grillin’ & Dippin BBQ sauce. This sauce is built from the same foundation as their original sauce, with 2 subtle differences: the label has a darker theme (an orange background vs a green background), and it’s spicy (the Spicy variant adds ground red pepper and […]
The Wright Sauce Honey Habanero Bacon (3/5)
I was contacted by the owner of this sauce who was extremely enthusiastic about his sauce that had recently been featured on the show Supermarket Superstar on the Lifetime Network. Cool. Just so you know, I try as best I can to go into judging blind. I try to not read any other reviews or […]
Perfect Bite BBQ Sauce (4/5)
When this sauce arrived, I knew something different was happening here. I needed to get cooking with it to uncover the story and find the answers, but I had a lot of questions looking at the bottle. Does this sauce really deliver a perfect bite? What is Sassy Sweet? What is Old South? Will it […]
Grillin Bills Honey Habanero BBQ Sauce (4/5)
Grillin Bills Honey Habanero Gourmet BBQ Sauce is a healthy California-based grilling sauce with great ingredients – noticeably high fructose corn syrup-free and gluten-free. Speaking of which – this is the first time I’ve had Veratox Gliaden Quantitative Test results sent that PROVE that this sauce has under 5 ppm (parts per million) – this […]
Honey Badger Cobra Strength BBQ Sauce (4/5)
If you like BBQ sauce and have spent time on the internet in the past year, it’s likely that you’ve come across Honey Badger BBQ sauce, a successfully funded Kickstarter BBQ sauce project. These guys showed up with a limited background in the BBQ biz and built their brand atop upon an internet meme (the […]
