We expected great things, but we have to settle on a 2/5 rating due to the high cost and the bizarre, bitter flavor and usability. We have tried and loved many sauces from Hot Ones, from Los Calientes to The Last Dab. Given the tiny size and the high heat, it would benefit from being a bit thicker. We can really only speak for the bottle we received, and ours was thin and almost runny, which can make it a bit tough to meter out. Perhaps different batches of the sauce varied slightly in thickness. However, after watching another review of the sauce on YouTube, it seemed much thicker than ours. Our bottle of Dragon in the Clouds was relatively thin, pouring very easily from the small spout. But at the end of the day, you’re only worried about the contents of the sauce and whether it is truly worth $30+ to you. You also get some pretty unique packaging and presentation. That’s a steep price for a small amount of sauce, though it does offer a new and exotic flavor. Total cost for our bottle was about $31 shipped.

With that being said, Dragon in the Clouds is an unavoidably expensive $25 plus shipping for 4oz of hot sauce. It also uses hard-to-source ingredients that are likely high in cost. However, it is a limited edition sauce that will likely sell out quickly and go for big money on ebay soon.
Especially considering the size of the bottle. If you’re familiar with ghost peppers, you’ll know what we mean. This Scoville rating is just an estimate, but to keep it simple, the sauce is really hot. It also hits harder on the palate than most, with an almost immediate burn that lasts and lasts. Given that the primary ingredient is Ghost Peppers, this estimate should hold true. There is no available Scoville rating for the sauce, however, if we had to guess, it is likely around the 1,000,000 SHU mark. It is clearly meant to be eaten in small amounts, given the bottle’s small size and powerful flavor. This means it isn’t for everyone (especially considering the price), but if that sounds like your thing, go for it.ĭragon In The Clouds Scoville & Spicinessĭragon in the Clouds is very spicy, certainly among the hottest sauces we have reviewed.
To put it simply, Dragon in the Clouds is extremely spicy, bitter, very orange-y, and tough to pair with typical foods. I could barely taste the garlic and mustard, while the szechuan peppercorns did give their signature numbing sensation. The orange flavor is also less sweet, and more bitter, like eating the rind of the orange rather than the juicy inside. The orange flavor is the most prominent, and when paired with yuzu, the sauce almost becomes an orange concentrate, with some super-hot peppers added in later. I’m not sure the flavor will be for everyone, especially if you’re not a fan of citrus. In the case of Dragon in the Clouds, the flavor is strong, but it is also strange… Many of the super spicy hot sauces out there will give you all the heat with no flavor. We have established that this sauce is spicy, but how about the flavor? Is it usable on actual food, or is it just another gimmick?
