Heat you can read
Climb the heat.
Six small-batch sauces on one printed 1–10 scale, sold as flights. Start low and climb it together.
Six rungs. Pick your height.
Every label prints the same 10-segment bar, filled to its heat. Line the bottles up and the bars climb.
Start with a flight
Not sure where you sit? Taste three neighbouring rungs side by side, or take the whole ladder home.
The Climb
$36Three rungs in a sleeve: Gentle (2, 3, 5), Steady (3, 5, 6) or Steep (6, 8, 10).
All six in heat order on a stepped insert, as 2 oz tasters or full 5 oz bottles.
What's in the bottle
One pepper leads every rung. Here's where each one grows and what it tastes like before the heat arrives.
Jalapeño
First Light. Grown across Mexico and the American Southwest; grassy and bright, charred here over open flame.
Fresno
Daybreak. A Californian red with thin walls and a fruity snap, gentle enough to pour on everything.
Habanero
High Noon. From the Yucatán; apricot and tropical fruit first, then a warmth that builds.
Morita
Updraft. A ripe red jalapeño smoked until dark and wrinkled; plum, cocoa and campfire.
Scotch bonnet
Thermal. The Caribbean's pepper; floral and sweet, with heat that comes in fast.
Carolina Reaper
Afterglow. Bred in South Carolina; a fruity first second, then the top of the scale.
No skulls. No dares. No pain faces. Six honest numbers and a ladder anyone at the table can climb.
Hot sauce shouldn't be a stunt. Read the bar, pick your rung, and pass the bottle.
Find your rung
Goes on everything
Tacos, fried eggs, a slice at midnight. Put two bottles on the table and watch them travel: the gentle one goes left, the hot one goes right, and somebody always moves up a rung.
