A Sting in the Tail: Trinidad Scorpion
Good things come in small packages right? The Trinidad Scorpion is no exception. On average, one and a half million SHUs is packed into its tiny red body and its bumpy complexion gives the pepper a few more pockets to pack in the punch.

Former Hottest Chilli in the World: Carolina Reaper
This is the Grim Reaper in disguise. With an average rating of two million SHU on the Scoville Scale, you will be wanting more than your deathbed after a bite of this nasty. 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.

[REVIEW] Danny Balboa's Juice Head
The “cherry-on-top” for me in this hot sauce is the Szechuan pepper it gives the sauce an overall punchiness and complements the sweet grape flavour perfectly.
