Bold, balanced, powerful. Black Label offers hot sauce enthusiasts a modern approach to ghost pepper heat. Complexity reigns supreme as the flavor profile begins slightly sweet, transitioning to citrus and umami notes that support the classic ghost pepper burn.

Thank you, fellas!!! Absolutely love the sauce. I saw it in a store and I don't remember which store. It was in Indianapolis Carmel area and it might have been a store called the world market but when I looked there before I ordered they did not have any. So thus I just ordered it straight from you guys. The United States postal service here in Indianapolis is not the greatest on getting things delivered but I did receive it two bottles and again thanks. I collect some bottles as well so I sent pictures and I hope you see that yours is on the top shelf. Keep up the good work. I will be ordering again. Thanks, Grady
Sauce was delicious, sometimes hot sauces are hot but lack flavor. The Black Label Hot Sauce was as very flavorful and had a decent amount of heat. Highly recommend.
Sure it’s hotter than blood orange or mango, but it just doesn’t taste as good. Not even close. There are great sauces at this heat level. This sadly doesn’t hold up like some of your other offerings.

Thanks for your honest feedback Cameron. Black Label has been our strongest performer and award winner due to its unique flavor profile, ingredients, and pairing opportunities, but understandably it won't hit for everyone. Regardless, we appreciate your business!
Just tried it and it is very good. Hot but also has a good flavor. Did not respond at first because I already had hot sauce open when I received it so didn't need to open immediately. Will review other 3 when I try them.
Like many of you, I am a hot sauce snob. To warrant a place in my rotation, it has to bring flavor in addition to heat, and it shouldn't be watery. It needs to stick. Black Label Hot Sauce checks all those boxes and then some. Spicy, tangy, sweet, fire ... YES.
I placed my order (#MH3466) one month ago. I have not received it and there are no updates. The only message I see is that "USPS Awaiting Item." Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
Thank you,
Tim
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the order Tim, we appreciate it. There was a large influx in orders after the Food & Wine feature and we ran out of stock. We tried to notify everyone whose order was impacted and apologize if something slipped through the cracks in notifying you. I see the order was delivered today, thanks again for your business and patience.
Murder Hornet Hot Sauce is hands-down one of my favorite hot sauces. It brings some serious heat, but what really sets it apart is the flavor. It’s not just hot for the sake of being hot - you actually want to keep eating it.
I put this stuff on just about everything. It has that perfect balance where it makes you sweat a little, question a few life choices, and then immediately go back for another bite. 😂
If you like hot sauce with legitimate heat AND great flavor, Murder Hornet absolutely delivers. I’ll definitely be keeping a bottle around.
Outstanding flavor, inescapable heat! I make my own hot sauces because what you find in the stores is unimaginative, and full of stuff I just don't want to put in my food! Murder Hornet to the rescue!
I really like the sauce! It's a great balance of sweet and spice. I make my own sauce here in Sonoma (but just as hobby). I always appreciate specific feedback so FWIW, I have the following observations:
* I thought it would be much hotter with roasted ghost peppers but it's well balanced. I'm assuming you use fresno peppers because using all ghost peppers would be overwhelming -- I do the same thing in two of my sauces.
* I've never tried balsamic vinegar in a hot sauce but it definitely adds something. It could also be the molasses and/or dates.
* The sweetness sort of overpowered the lime. I didn't get any sort of piquant tang.
* I haven't tried any of your other sauces but will order some soon. Also happy to send you some of mine for your feedback.
Keep doing what you do!!!
Against my GI doctor's better judgements, I tried this at our niece's and fell in love with how flavorful it is, before the conflagration hits. I couldn't wait to get a bottle of my own.
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much I found your sauce at a local hot sauce convention in Orting Washington a couple years ago and I can’t stock my supply fast enough it is the best hot sauce ever so flavorful with a little kick I can’t get enough of the murder hornet hot sauce.
Thank you
I fell in love with this hot sauce when I tried it at a local tavern with a taco order. I will now carry it with me when I go out to eat (yes, my friends laugh at me). The combination of heat and flavor is absolutely amazing! It’s my fave hot sauce now!
The Black Label sauce is delicious. Super rich with lots of flavor, and just enough spice that sticks around. Also, my first package having arrived broken, they replaced is quick-smart. I can't wait to try the blood orange agave sauce. That's just called for some pork loin or something. Thanks very much!
Nice burn that stays in the mouth. Hot but not lingering. I put this on darn near anything now. Went through a whole bottle solo in just under a month.
