Rich I received 3 bottles of Dave's sauces for Christmas this year. The Private Reserve, Ginger Peach and Dave's Insanity Sauce. I tried the Reserve and I am with you, it was extremely hot and tasted like a burnt rug. (Not that I have ever tasted a burnt rug, but I do have a good imagination.) I would love to say the other sauces were better but since tasting the Private Reserve I haven't been brave enough to try the others. If anyone else knows what these sauces taste like I too would like to hear from them. Yvonne from sunny Georgia I've done the drop on a tortilla chip thing before with either the Ultimate Insanity or Private Reserve (I can't remember, but think it was the UI). It was outrageously hot with an incredibly bad flavor. At risk of starting up another cat thread, I will say it had a taste that brought to mind burnt cat hair...though I must say, I've never tasted burnt cat hair. I haven't opened any yet and I'm wondering what I'm in for with the other sauces and the Insanity Salsa. Any input and opinion would be appreciated.
