My people are from Louisiana and I am right out of South Florida.  So, I grew up on hot sauce!  In all of my years, this is by far the best that I have ever had.  You only need a dash, so a bottle goes a long way.  Although it is definitely spicy, it is not overpowering. You can still taste your food as well as the onion, garlic, vinegar, sweet peppers and turmeric. When it is time to eat, it automatically goes on anything that is not a dessert. I love this stuff!!!  Yah man!!!
