The ‘Dimension’ edition Red Box features 3 hot sauces across the taste spectrum – savoury, smoky, sweet(ish) and all with a good dose of heat! We have an example of a sauce that uses a few simple ingredients to create layers of flavour to another that uses an abundance of ingredients to create a sauce with an intense depth of flavour and lastly a sauce that use a whole different “cooking” process to create dimension and complexity.

[REVIEW] Culley's Carolina Reaper Chipotle Hot Sauce
Culley's Carolina Reaper and Chipotle is a collaboration between Culley's NZ and the Pucker Butt Pepper Company USA, which is the home of the Carolina Reaper. This is a thick dark brown sauce with spices you can definitely see, and it has a noticeable smoky aroma from the chipotle. The abundance of ingredients is combined perfectly to create just the right balance and layers of sweet, tang, salty and of course smoky.

[REVIEW] 13 Angry Scorpions Grim Hot Sauce
This hot sauce is an aged Carolina Reaper sauce that delivers itself in 3 stages - sweet, naughty, grim. You get stage one which is a layer of sweet thanks to the molasses that has its own amazing depth of flavour. Stage two is the naughty tang of distilled vinegar and then stage three is the grim fire and heat of the Carolina Reaper which has been aged for 12 months using a specially developed 13 Angry Scorpions technique.

And it’s officially the nastiest of them all! It is the current holder in the Guinness World Record for The hottest chilli pepper in the world. So perhaps it does make it one worth dying for.

[REIVEW] Bear Brewing Reaper Sauce
This hot sauce ticks the boxes on uniqueness in 2 ways. First it is black in colour, that's right, it is not the bottle that is black but the sauce. Second, it is a fermented hot sauce, not cooked, so delivers a very different flavour profile.

[REVIEW] The Chilli Effect El Presidente's Demise
Mark and Daryl from The Chilli Effect have been in contact with me ever since ChilliBOM started, but the problem was that their hot sauces were physically too big to fit in the ChilliBOM Red Box. So when I saw they had launched this sauce in a 150ml bottle I was onto them straight away as I knew it would be special, and it is!
