10.3 Million to 16 Million		Blair's 6 am ** These Incredible bottles are filled with Earth Shattering Pure Pepper Resin Ranging from a low of 10.3 million Scoville units to ...Are you Ready......16 million This is Pure Capsicum crystal. You can see it inside the bottle.......Due to the unique nature and and the fact that Blair made only 80 oz of Pepper resin at a time, each batch Does vary. Only 999 will be made, each numbered. As this is pure Capsicum - it's impossible to get any hotter....
10,000,000+		Blair's Caldera ** With this sauce Blair regained his crown with the then world's hottest. Nothing ever created had even come close the fury in this amazing Package!
