Been using Sriracha for a while now, and it's really good, but I would like to branch out a bit.
Not looking for something crazy like Dave's Insanity Sauce or Mega Death Sauce with Liquid Rage. Looking for some heat and some great flavor.
Please educate me.
Get hot sauce from Taco Bell. But you have to order something.
Trader Joe's Jalapeno Hot Sauce (a red sauce, comes in smallish bottles).
I'm addicted to it, and tend to stock up in it to prevent running out. Only negative aspect is the bottle is too damn small.

Ok. Thanks. I will check it out.
Flagpole, you're an idiot, I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you that.
However, I can respect your desire for hotsauce. Get yourself to a caribbean store. It will open a whole new world of hotsauces that are made with mustard seeds as one of the ingredients, along with the chilis if it is a good store.
The leeward islands in general have great hot sauce for the most part. Barbados and trinidad probably have the best hot sauces if you are looking for a hot sauce themed vacation. Grenada and St vincent are right behind them. The virgins and Puerto Rico are very disappointing for hotsauce.
The best single bottle of hot sauce I have ever had is from montserrat. Look up the fish guy if you ever go there. He sells it out of his fish wholesale/bar. You'll have to ask around to find him. It's atypical for the lesser Antilles because it isn't mustard based.
There is quite a large range in heat between sriracha and the other sauces you mentioned. Kind of like asking for recommendations on a sports car, nothing crazy like a Mclaren or Bugatti, just something a little more fun to drive than my Mitsubishi Eclipse. Which is really good, by the way.
C'mon, man.

Yeah, I want something more like Sriracha, but could go even a lot hotter...just don't need a million+ scoville units like the two extreme examples I mentioned. Looking for heat with flavor, not just heat.

I would recommend something habanero based. Here are a few of my current favorites:
Char Man Original
They use charred peppers in their sauces for a nice smoke flavor that is much less intense than a chipotle based sauce. For less heat, try the Verde version, made with jalapenos.
Hot Ones

If you like vinegar based sauces but a good bit hotter, Hot Ones is best in class.
CaJohns Fatalii Puree

By itself it would be more heat than you're probably looking for, but I think it would be perfect for taking sriracha to another level of heat and flavor. Half to a full teaspoon to a full bottle complements the heavy garlic of sriracha nicely.
Sriracha is terrible hahaha. Try The Pepper Palace for a good hot sauce.

My personal favorite is the green habanero el yucateco. Might be a tad hot for you if you are used to sriracha but it tastes amazing. They have some milder and some hotter ones too.
Bolt has the hottest sauce, but Farah's is longer lasting.
Love this stuff. It's hot, but not in a way where the heat overpowers the flavor, which is my complaint about most really hot hot sauces.
Dude is serious about hot sauce. Respect

You should use the same brand that Hillary carries around in her purse when she's pandering to black voters. Did you here she lost?
I'm sure there are countless hand-crafted super high quality hot sauces out there. However, I like TABASCO green pepper hot sauce. Tastes great on everything and you can buy it anywhere. No trips to the Caribbean necessary.
Also, Frank's hot sauce is decent and you can also find it anywhere.
My choices are not sophisticated, I admit.
I've been ordering this. I enjoy all the varieties.

I appreciate the response. I have had a lot of all kinds of TABASCO and Frank's. Definitely acceptable. Looking for something with a bit more heat than either of them but with great flavor too. Not planning to go to the Caribbean for hot sauce.
