Apologies again for my long absence. I had a mishap last week with hot sauce orders and they didn't arrive on time. Frowny face for me but I'm back in the saddle to share with you my find for this week. I received Tattoo Sauce's Scotch Bonnet Curry and have been so excited to try it. Of course we all know of my (and your) love of the spicy goo that makes everything better. But I also love curry so very much. I make a mean yellow chicken and potato curry over rice let me tell you! So without further ado:
Tattoo Hot Sauce company is dedicated to creating globally inspired and passionately crafted hot sauces. They claim "creating flavor is an art an we express our passion to the craft with Tattoo". Each of their hot sauce is inspired by different global cultures, heritage, and peppers. If the flavor comes out as much as the hype suggests, we'll have a nice time unraveling this concoction.
The bottle is wonderful as it's a squeeze bottle. I LOVE squeeze bottles for hot sauces. They eliminate the need to coax out the thicker condiments and allows great pour (or in this case squeeze) control for application. If I've never said it before in this medium MAKE HOT SAUCE IN SQUEEZE BOTTLES A THING! The label is fairly straightforward with some nice line designs punctuated with full color shapes. The consistency is on the thin side with a dull-ish yellow color and just a hint of sediment.
The taste is nicely layered. It begins with a hint of fruity sweetness without being too up front about it. A savoriness follows very shortly after bring my much awaited curry. Also the tang of the peppers is quite noticeable at this stage. It ends with a slight return of the sweetness but this time tempered by the curry and spice. Quite a nice ride if you ask me.
The heat is firmly present without being too extreme. It seemed to gravitate to the middle of my tongue without much tip of the tongue burn until my fourth or fifth sampling. The lips burn was quite present after this many tastings as well and, without being to pushy, remained idling for quite some time.
In summation, this sauce obviously focuses on flavor using the heat to assist in the taste experience. This is a well done sauce and I think that I'll be using it for some fun cooking explorations in the near future. If you can, pick up a bottle from Amazon as Tattoo doesn't have their products for sale on their site. Until next time scorch searchers!
