I'm curious about which hot sauces are extremely hot, but do not contain any pepper extract (or capsicum extract).

Currently I'm dining on Blair's lowest sauce: "Sudden Death", rating at a hefty 33,000 scoville units. It bosts no artificial ingredients, and I don't see the word "extract" anywhere. But I do see: "Pure Pepper Resin".

Could anyone enlighten me what pure pepper resin means?

Anyone know of other hot sauces that don't contain pure pepper extract? I've looked at Dave's Insanity line, and it looks like his lowest, "Dave's Insanity Gourmet Hot Sauce" runs at 51,000 scoville units, and DOES contain extract.

Blair's "After Death" is listed at 49,000 scoville units, but I don't have one handy to read the ingredient list.
Further research shows that I might have missed one by Blair: "Blair's Original Death Sauce". I don't have a scoville rating on that. Anyone know if it's hotter or weaker than Sudden Death?

Also, does anyone know Blair's web site? A google search only brings up a million other sellers.

I find it odd that habaneros can rank in the 50,000 scoville unit, but sauces using them can rank as low at 1,000, or even less. Hot sauces above 15,000 seem to contain extract. Bummer.

Sorry for all the questions, but I love hot suace,
Dustin
