"The Last Dab" is a series of hot sauces created by Heatonist in collaboration with the YouTube show "Hot Ones" and chili breeder Smokin' Ed Currie of Puckerbutt Pepper Company. It is known as the hottest sauce on the show. Currie is also the creator of the Carolina Reaper and Pepper X peppers. The Last Dab has gone through several iterations, including a Carolina Reaper Edition, The Last Dab XXX, The Last Dab: Apollo, and The Last Dab Xperience. The series is made with all-natural ingredients and no artificial preservatives.
Key features of "The Last Dab" sauces are their intense heat and unique flavors. For example, The Last Dab: Apollo combines the Apollo Pepper with earthy, sun-dried depth, offering a slow burn that evolves into a full blaze. The Last Dab Xperience is made with over 91% Pepper X in dried, fresh, and all-natural distillate forms, recognized by Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper. Another iteration, The Last Dab Thermageddon, combines Pepper X, the Apollo, Carolina Reaper, and Scorpion Pepper. Depending on the version, the Scoville heat units can reach over 2 million. "The Last Dab" hot sauces are available at specialty retailers like World Market and online at Heatonist and other online retailers. The price is usually between $20 and $25 per bottle.
