Still very tasty, just a head's up that the current batch of BLSR is actually hotter than Hell Hound.

Combined with the deep, rich notes of fire-roasted jalapeno, figs \u0026amp; apples, along with a kick of ghost pepper for even more intensity, Black Label Special Reserve is a zesty, savory, and very, very hot sauce with rapidly creeping heat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Label Special Reserve \u003c\/strong\u003ewas released in 2020 as a Heatonist exclusive for their subscription box.
