[CH] Melindas Jolokia question

Today, as I was shopping at a most excellent emporium of chiles, spices
and other good stuff, I saw that Melinda's hot sauces now has a jolokia
sauce. I always associated Melinda's sauces with better than average
flavor, but never were they linked up in my mind with those producers
whose product bore names with the words "death", "agony", "ultimate",
"insane" and so on. I did not feel like parting with the $8.99 that it
would have been necessary to come up with at the time, but I am curious
to know if anyone on this list has succumbed to the temptation and
sampled the beast.
I sometimes consider myself an extremist when it comes to hot, but I
guess I've seen too many videos of foolhardy consumption of Naga Morich
(or whatever the Jolokia is calling itself at the time) to summon up the
cojones to give it a go. I am curious, though, about the taste and maybe
there are concoctions that can give some idea of the flavor without
sending me to places I'd rather not visit. Maybe this is one.
Finally thawing out a bit in the great northeast,
