The exceptional quality of Blair's sauces is acknowledged by chilliheads the world over. Blair's Original Death is the one that started it all back in 1989. I've been using this sauce for more years than I care to remember and I can honestly say I've enjoyed it on every type of food you can imagine. I just find the flavour so damned addictive. It's got a nice kick, but it's not too hot to use liberally. It's got a great garlicky edge with nice smoky notes from the chipotles. It's got... actually, I'm going to shut up, I'm beginning to sound like some kind of poncey wine critic. Just take my word for it. Blair's Original Death is a cracking sauce and you really should have a bottle in your fridge. Did I mention the underlying spicy notes, the zingy lime plucked from its branch at four in the morning, and the dew-covered coriander? Comes in a presentation box with great graphics and Blair's trademark keyring attached to the bottle.

Lily ★★★★★

I've kept a bottle of this in my pantry since the 90s and it's still the sauce I reach for when I want that slow, building heat that actually lingers. The chipotle gives it a deep smokiness that plain habanero sauces just don't have, and a little goes a long way on eggs or in chili.

William ★★★★★

The heat builds slow and smoky, not like those watery vinegary ones, and a few drops on eggs or in chili bring that deep chipotle warmth without burning everything off. It's been a staple in my kitchen for years, and the flavor's stayed just as bold as the day I first opened a bottle.

Eli ★★★★★

I’ve been loyal to this sauce since it first hit the scene in 1989, and the chipotle blend still delivers that same fiery kick with a subtle smokiness that never overwhelms the heat. A few drops on eggs or tacos and I’m transported.
