I've slowly been increasing my tolerance level of chili peppers and have a few tasting notes.
Hellfire Hot Sauce Fiery Fool: This one is considered a puree so it is not the greatest to drizzle on as a topping. However, as an ingredient which is mixed in it is my go-to hot sauce. As a puree you get a bit of chunkiness and even some seeds. You also get the flavor of the Trinidad Scorpion, Carolina Reaper, Bhut Jolokia, and the Red 7-Pot without any extra artisanal ingredients.
Cajohn's Vicious Viper Hot Sauce: I have some nostalgia for this one. My first encounter with the Vicious Viper was around ten years ago at a Firehouse Subs. I just grabbed it off the counter and nonchalantly slathered it on my sandwich. Oh man did I get snakebit. This sauce is based on the relatively nonlethal habanero, however it is spiked with chili extracts. This is a good all-around hot sauce.
Torchbearer Sauces Garlic Reaper Sauce: This has Carolina Reapers as an ingredient so it deserves some respect. This sauce has great flavor and is my go-to mustard when making sandwiches. You can't get carried away with it, a little goes a long way.

In larger quantities it is pretty hot, but it has a very nice flavor. We add it to a variety of our standard dishes.
