Field notes
The proposed sauce uses red Scotch bonnets split between fermentation and flame-charring, with navy rum, lemon, Jamaican allspice, and thyme; the page rates it four flames out of five. Bottles are listed as 5 fl oz (148 mL), wax-sealed, and shelf-stable. The first small batch is still described as in the works; the site invites consumers to join an email list and D.C. retailers to request wholesale pricing and tasting samples.
