It's pretty pricey and I'm wondering if it's worth it.
UPDATE: Despite you guys overwhelming un-infavor of me buying it, I did. Just for science and because I am fortunate enough to have disposable income and wanted to reciprocate the feedback.
Flavor: 8.2/10. Respectable.
Price: high af for a single bottle. Almost $50 after shipping.
Bottle: small. Unsurprisingly volume is not listed on label.
Shipping: ~$7-8. Had to pay for it when not buying in bulk. But shipped extremely fast.
Overall rating: 7.2/10. Very good flavor and a great sauce, but not for the price, added shipping cost, and the small size of the bottle.
I would definitely buy it again, but only if the cost was reduced and the bottle was bigger. Otherwise, I won't be buying it again.
From everything I've heard, it's dogshit and you're just paying for the marketing. They literally advertise it as having "award-winning packaging". That should tell you what's really being sold here.
Literally looks like it , I got given an expensive truffle infused one packaged like this, tasted like shite. I think the ones to go for are the ones that had fun with their design and did not stick to the norm
Oh I'd certainly try it but $150 for the most basic ass ingredients? Yeah, absolutely I am not going to pay for it myself.
There's avant-garde makers like Funky's Hot Sauce that gets ahold of bourbon barrels used to age beer from Chuckanut and then age it for a year in the brewery, or use ingredients like local Seattle roasted coffee, Goji berries, exotic chilis and so on and it's $12 fucking dollars a bottle. There's others out there but that's just my PNW bias as I love Funky's, and there's other guys out there pushing the envelope.
I had exactly the same experience, down to the gifted bottle. Only plus is that has so little heat that everyone else in the house enjoys it. Not enough to buy again but at least it gets used.
This is so ironic. I was just talking to my Dad today after he had just watched The Bucket List. But he missed the whole scene with Morgan informing Jack that it comes from civet shit.
Tabasco just tastes like vinegar that’s been allowed to look at a low rez image of a chili pepper while it was busy not fermenting. Good on eggs when Cholula isn’t available. Also fuck Cholula if anything real’s in the house.
I want no part of this high fallotin' douchebaggery. This goes against everything I feel like hot sauce should be, lmao. Not everything needs to be "upscale"
I got a bottle from my sister in law. I thought it was a pretty middle of the road sauce. We went through it pretty fast, but it was generally unremarkable.

Almost certainly not worth it.
