(01) Meet the Reaper
One pepper. Zero mercy.
The Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper ever certified. We grow ours under the Lowcountry sun, pick them at peak ripeness, and turn them into a sauce that tastes like tropical fruit — right before it sets your whole face on fire.

(03) The process
Made the hard way.
Fermented 90 days
Slow lacto-fermentation builds deep, funky, fruity flavor before the heat kicks the door in.
Zero extracts
No capsaicin extract, no gums, no shortcuts. Every bit of fire comes from the pepper itself.
Hand bottled
Filled, capped, and wax-sealed by hand in Charleston. Every bottle numbered.
(04) Manifesto
We don’t make sauce to be polite. We grow every reaper under the Carolina sun, let it ferment for ninety long days, and bottle it before it can calm down. No extracts. No shortcuts. Just honest fire that builds, lingers, and makes you question every choice you’ve made — right before you reach for more.
