With all the hype and news and Guinness awards surrounding Pepper X, its super underwhelming... until it isn't.
What happens is that you treat it with utmost respect at first. Specially as the Pepper X has twice the number of SHU (scoville heat units) than the Reaper. So you only put a little... a tiny bit.. at first.
And then it lures you into a false sense of security. You're like.. oh ok.. its hot but edible.
But then you add more, and then a bit more. And then baaam, it quickly tips the scales to an overpowering burn. It clings to the tongue, and lingers there for many many many minutes.
I like it for it's a clean, lingering sting, without assaulting the throat - which I hated of the Ghost Pepper. Plus it’s actually tasty.
So the lesson here, is moderation is key; and pray it doesn't linger on the way out! Hahaha

Cool... Pepper X is the hot new ticket in the sauce world but really, their claim as far as percentage of Pepper X used in this sauce has to be a lie. The sauce is hot, don't get me wrong, but it isn't even in the top 10 hottest non-extract sauces I've had (even from this store). It's as inconsistent as the Reaper and you're not going to be blown away at the heat, and then you'll be annoyed at how much you spent on it. It's also very bland with no real, 'flavourful' use. It was well marketed that's for sure, but its a slap in the face to sauce enthusiasts to slap that kind of price tag on something that A) isn't THAT hot and B) under-performs in any taste metric.
Great service as always from Chilly Chiles. The Last Dab Xperience Sauce was somewhat disappointing. Good flavor but the heat is "light" for a sauce that is made up of 91% of a world record pepper. Its hot but there are definitely hotter sauces out there.
