Hott Charred Peach, Scotch Bonnet and Spiced Rum

I approached this bottle from Hott. expecting sweetness and chaos. Instead, I found something surprisingly refined… before the Scotch Bonnet quietly crept up and boxed my ears.

The charred peach brings a deep caramelised fruitiness with just enough smoky edge to stop things becoming sugary nonsense. Beneath that sits a rich fermented savoury base that gives the sauce real substance rather than simply acting as a delivery system for heat.

Then comes the spiced rum. Not enough to make it taste like a pirate’s cocktail cabinet, thankfully, but just enough to weave in dark fruit and warming spice that lingers beautifully.

I have been splashing this over grilled chicken, pulled pork and halloumi with alarming frequency. Frankly, it has no business being this easy to demolish.

Charred peaches unlock a complex smoky sweetness. A body of fermented onions, peppers and carrots deliver savoury depth with natural acidity. Scotch Bonnets lend a medium mouth-coating warmth to our signature base.

This Hott. sauce is rounded with dark fruit and creamy caramel-vanilla notes using Dead Man’s Fingers spiced rum.
