Flavour Variants & Heat Levels

Shock & Awe (Grenade) – Heat Level 4 / 5

Our hottest sauce

Not for the faint-hearted. Shock & Awe was created at the request of serious heat seekers and delivers a deep, powerful, sustained burn. Made with almost 90% American-grown orange habanero peppers, this sauce brings intense heat balanced by a surprisingly sweet aroma and flavour.

Perfect for experienced chilli lovers, many fans use Shock & Awe to “spike” Dead Red when making wings or sauces that need an extra punch.

Best with: Wings, chilli, tacos, marinades
Heat profile: Intense, long-lasting, bold habanero heat

Dead Red – Heat Level 3 / 5

Medium heat · Signature classic

Dead Red is The General’s original and best-known hot sauce. Made with nearly 90% fully ripe red cayenne peppers, hand-picked, salted and aged to perfection. The result is a fresh, authentic cayenne flavour that’s rich and vibrant, without being overwhelmed by vinegar.

This is a versatile, everyday hot sauce with true chilli character.

Best with: Eggs, pizza, wings, burgers, fries
Heat profile: Clean, fresh cayenne heat with depth

Danger Close – Heat Level 3.5 / 5

Strong heat

Danger Close sits perfectly between Dead Red and Shock & Awe. A carefully balanced blend of red cayenne and orange habanero peppers, it delivers bold cayenne flavour with a noticeable habanero kick at the finish.

Widely considered the ultimate buffalo wing sauce, it brings more heat than Dead Red without crossing into extreme territory.

Best with: Buffalo wings, fried chicken, grilled meats
Heat profile: Bold cayenne upfront, habanero heat on the finish

Grunt Green – Heat Level 2.5 / 5

Medium heat · Tangy and earthy

Made with green cayenne peppers picked just before they turn red, Grunt Green offers a tangy, earthy flavour with the same rich chilli concentration as Dead Red. These peppers are aged slightly longer, resulting in a uniquely balanced, fresh and savoury sauce.

A favourite for those who love flavour-forward heat without overwhelming spice.

Best with: Tacos, eggs, seafood, grilled vegetables
Heat profile: Bright, tangy cayenne with gentle warmth
