The product will now be used as the final sauce that’s consumed by celebrity guests on the interview show, hence the name. The volatile condiment has been dubbed The Last Dab, and it’s being produced as a collaboration between Smokin’ Ed, The Heatonist hot sauce shop in New York, and First We Feast’s video web series The Hot Ones. Unlike that example, Pepper X is already available in hot sauce form. If you think red chilis are for amateurs, our Ghost Pepper Jerky featuring India’s infamous million-Scoville Bhut Jolokia is the beef jerky you’ve been waiting for. Dragon’s Breath, the current world record holder, will be restricted to use in medicine. Peppers this spicy aren’t always made available to consumers.

It reportedly clocks in at 3.18 million SHU. Now, Smokin’ Ed is back with what he says beats the taste bud-searing heat of both peppers.Īccording to Thrillist, so-called “Pepper X” took 10 years to develop. His world record-breaking achievement was surpassed earlier in 2017 by the Dragon’s Breath, a chili accidentally bred by a competitive gardener. Smokin’ Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company attained hot-pepper preeminence in 2013, when he debuted the Carolina Reaper, the hottest hot pepper at the time at up to 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
