Elijah's Xtreme Reaper Hot Sauce

Elijah’s Xtreme® Handcrafted Reaper Sauce

Sweet Heat. Artisan Fire. Award-Winning Flavor.

Some sauces chase heat.

This one perfects it.

Elijah’s Xtreme® was born from a father and son’s shared passion for hot peppers and a determination to craft something thicker, hotter, and more flavorful than anything else available. What started in a family kitchen became a nationally recognized brand built on handcrafted recipes, premium ingredients, and fearless creativity.

After the success of their Ghost Pepper Sauce launch in 2014, Elijah and his father pushed even further — unveiling their Reaper Sauce at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo in April 2016, where it promptly sold out.

It hasn’t slowed down since.

The Art of Sweet Heat

Elijah’s Xtreme Handcrafted Reaper Sauce is a gourmet fusion of bold fruit and formidable fire. At its core is the legendary Carolina Reaper Pepper — known as one of the hottest peppers in the world — delivering powerful, sustained heat.

But what sets this sauce apart is its balance.

Rich black cherries and cranberries create a deep, sweet-tart base. Smooth Kentucky bourbon introduces subtle oak warmth with hints of vanilla and caramel. The result is a layered, savory-sweet profile that builds into a confident Reaper burn.

It’s not just heat.... It’s harmony.

Heat Level: 350,000 SHU

Intense enough for true chileheads, yet balanced enough to keep you reaching for another drizzle.

Flavor Profile

The sweetness greets you first. The savory depth follows. Then the Reaper reminds you exactly who’s in control.
