Looking for a new good tasting hot sauce

I'm not looking for stuff that will kill you or make your bum hurt for 3 days. Here is what I think is hot and not hot.

1. Tabasco = baby formula with a decent taste
2. Tabasco Habanero= great heat but not that great of a taste
3. Dave Insanity= way to much heat. not even enjoyable
4. Sirachi= ok...tingles the tongue but tastes good
5. Trinidad xhot= awesome taste with great heat

Since everyone has their own heat preference I hope this small chart helps. I had this one sauce at firehouse subs call North Carolina hot sauce, cant find it anywhere. It was amazing and it had a label 9 as the 1 out of 10 heat source. I have figured out that I like a sauce that has the consistency of Tabasco. Thanks for the help!

    I really like the Tabasco Chipotle.  It is not that hot but I think the flavor is excellent.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I could drink Frank's Red Hot out of the bottle but I don't think it will be spicy enough for you...

    IMHO the best hot sauce is Secret Aardvark, but it's made here in the PNW and not available everywhere.  It is habanero, so it has some heat, but the first ingredient is roasted tomatoes, so the heat is not much and the tomatoes add a nice sweetness.  Could probably find it on Amazon.

    My brother's friend started making and selling this -   http://hotmaple.com/  it's good, unique.

    Might help if you said what kind of flavor profile you like - Asian styles, Mexican style, BBQ-hot, etc.

    I agree 100%. Secret Aardvark is the best hot sauce I've ever had, and there isn't even a close second. I first tried it when I lived in Portland OR, but since I've moved back east I get it through the mail 6 bottles at a time (yeah, I like the stuff). Folks outside of the Pacific northwest can order it via Amazon. I highly recommend you do. 

    Other fantastic hot sauses are El Yucateco (green), and Hula Girl chipotle habanero.

    Yep, I sure do. Ive always had a high tolerance for heat though. When I was a little kid my best friends father was from India. He would put chili peppers in our scrambled eggs in the morning and making us spicier and spicier curries in order to build up our tolerance to heat. By the time I was in the 5th grade I was knocking back Dixie cups full of Tabasco sauce in the lunch room for a dare. Safe to say I love the burn!

    That being said, the 3 sauces I recommended are all somewhere inbetween a 5 and a 7 on a scale of 1-10. They're all hot, but not so hot that you can't taste the awesome favors going on. 

    Edit: That Trinidad habanero sauce is great stuff as well. The bar we go to for brunch on the weekends carries it in their hot sauce racks. It's my goto for breakfast tacos.

    I used to love heat.  Cooked with fresh habaneros. But now my preference is not so much.  My mouth and stomach can take far more heat than the rest of the digestive track, but the misery of the afterburn just ain't worth it to me anymore.

    I still like fire, I just need to watch the volume of heat and temper it with other foods so I don't pay the price.

    Anyway, to answer the OP question, maybe instead of looking for a pre-made bottle of that perfect sauce, you should look at creating your own. There shouldn't be anything you can't do with a blender.

    Have you tried Scotch Bonnet  sauces? The two on the right have great favor.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Melinda's Naga Jolokia is my go-to super hot sauce.  Ghost peppers.

    I like habanero sauces for the flavor.

    And now for something completely different.  https://dichickos.com/  Extra Hot is as far as I can go, and only in small doses.

    Look up Rincon Heat, just right heat and excellent on seafood! Their new mango chipotle flavor is awesome! I found it at Guanabanas restaurant in Jupiter FL and ordered it online when I got back home.

    Follow @nolaegghead's suggestion and go with Melinda's. Start with regular hot. If that is too mild you can go to XX, XXX, XXXX, Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, Red Savina, Naga Jolokia, Ghost, or Scorpion. Something in there has to be right for you.

    secret aardvark is amazing.  You have to get it because it has an amazing taste and it has a good heat. Sadly, my tongue no longer thinks it's hot enough.
