Ghost Jolokia. The last bottle in the lineup. You were told.
The ghost pepper — bhut jolokia — was the first chile ever measured past one million Scoville units and held the world record for years. This bottle is built on it, backed by red habanero mash, and it is meaningfully hotter than everything else we make. We rate it Extreme, around 120,000 Scoville units: roughly six times the habanero bottle, and a real gap above the chipotle. Start with drops.
What the reputation leaves out is that ghost peppers taste good. Underneath the burn there is a sweetness and an earthy, slightly smoky character, and this recipe leans into it with a mustard and cumin base, garlic, and turmeric. The trick is using little enough that you can find all that. A few drops on a bowl of pho or a plate of wings does more than a heavy pour, which mostly just erases everything else on the plate.
Two things to know before you buy. It contains mustard — the only bottle in the lineup that does — so check if you track allergens. And there is no taking it back out once it is on the food.
Good on: wings, chili, ramen and pho, tacos, marinades — anything that can carry a few drops.
5 FL OZ (148 ML), about 30 servings. Recipe developed in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Professionally manufactured and bottled in Jacksonville, Florida. Ships nationwide.
