Puckerbutt Pepper Company - Unique Garlique

Opened the jar and my kitchen smelled like a proper garlic roast, but the real kick hits about ten seconds after the first bite — that Carolina Reaper and Scorpion blend is no joke. I’ve used it on pizza and eggs, and a tiny spoonful goes a long way for someone who likes heat but isn’t a masochist.

The garlic comes through right before the heat hits, which makes it sneaky. I put a tiny dab on a taco and ended up sweating through my shirt, but the flavor underneath that Carolina Reaper burn is actually worth it.

I was nervous about the Carolina Reaper heat, but the garlic flavor actually balances it out nicely. A tiny dab on my eggs this morning gave me a serious kick that lasted a good while, and the burn fades without killing the taste.
