There is a hot sauce I got from a friend that I have been trying to find for years. It was from a hotel in Zimbabwe that someone gave to me. It was in a small clear plastic bottle with a sticker that says Armadale on it. It had an amazing smoky and hot flavor.
The fact that 3 people in this thread said tabasco has me jumping ship already.
One of the saddest days in my life was in NZ. Couldn't find shit for spice around me. I was craving some heat. I made it about a month and a half and finally broke down and bought a bottle of tabasco. I felt like everyone was staring at me while I waited in line. When I got home I threw some into the food when my roommates weren't looking. I didn't want them to see what I had become. It was a real low point in my life. I can tolerate tabasco more after that, but I try to avoid it.
Idk, I guess it's a preference thing but I'm just not a big fan of Tabasco.
That said I'll rock tapatio, sriracha, el yuc, chohula, franks, and other normal ones from the store pretty often so it's not like I'm only hunting for weird shit. I just think tabasco overpowers the fuck out of any food you put it on. If you're really trying to turn up the heat your meal becomes tabasco flavored.
That said I'll try anything new. Have gotten some good shit from friends. Bought stuff at farmers markets, phish lot, random stores. I'd love to try and make the perfect hotsauce for myself but I'm lazy and I would probably do a shitty job honestly. I'll usually just grab what's around me. Pretty open.
Yeah Tabasco is way overrated for sure. Same with red hot although that's more tolerable on a regular basis

Maybe im just weird.
The jalapeno, habanero, and chipotle, mentioned above, tabascos are completely different than the regular one. Much more palatable in general. By that I mean they're pretty tasty. Plus tabasco is one of those hot sauces that pairs well only with certain foods. Comparable example, I could chug Sriracha but I think it's pretty meh when it's on Mexican food.
The green habanero version of el yucateco is so damn good. Also cholula's chipotle; not too spicy but kinda unique and tastes so good. Sriracha is a staple but used for different things. Just tried this mango habanero one from arizona gunslinger that was pretty good too, might make it a regular one on the shelf.
Trader Joe's jalapeno pepper hot sauce is a good all-rounder, not hot enought that you are in major pain but enought that its interesting. I put that shit on everything
Franks is literally just ground cayenne in vinegar. By far the most overrated hot sauce. I put that shit in with tabasco for quality. For the generic stuff siracha is usually my go to, but I think the best hot sauces are usually the ones the local mex restaurant sells. I'm also not a big fan of the ultra-spicy ones, if I'm more focused on how spicy the sauce is than how my food feels, not a win in my book. I'm kind of a pussy for real spicy stuff though so power to you if thats your jam.
CrunnchyVanManPicked up this monster from the finest Mexican market in my town
Ive got one of rhose and aome el yuc sitting on the fridge right now.
Was on a bkt of a sriracha kick last winter. I don't go out of my way but if anything catches my eye or i see somebody peddling small batch shit I'm always down for new shit. But usually just stick with what i know.

I'd love to find some small batch stuff...
I'm usually not a huge sriracha fan but my GF makes some killer Gochujang tho, I stick on the side of Mexican style sauces for the most part.

You ever fuck with the Valentina Extra hot?
Got some of that now.
Yeah i feel ya. I like siracha on burgers and fries and stuff. Idk different sauces different stuff.
Somebody was hustling hit sauce on here like 10 years ago. Have had a few friends at restaurants back in NY making me shit. Found a dude with a hot sauce company on phish lot in Charleston a few years back. I feel like im way more likely to support if small batch. Ill give anything a whirl.

LOT SAUCE
Tru, there really isn't a perfect one size fits all sauce, gotta find the right combo for different foods
