Kentuxican Bourbon Hot Sauce
This one fits in perfectly with ModernThirst’s primary theme: BOURBON! Kentuxican uses actual Kentucky Straight bourbon blended into a hot sauce made from Habanero and Carolina Reapers along with garlic, pepper, and spices.
Heat: Low
Pair with: any grilled or smoked meats (excluding seafood)- particularly brisket and pork. Try it on a Cuban sandwich!
Cost: $9.99/5oz on Amazon.com
Score:
Flavor: 6.5/10
Heat: 5/10
Uniqueness: 7/10
Overall: 6.5/10
Verdict:
A little disappointing, though I felt it got better as I made my way through the bottle. Didn’t get a lot of bourbon flavor OR heat from this as would be expected given the peppers used. This is a local favorite in Louisville, KY.
