Alliuminaughty is a new sauce that Inferno Farms bills as "a savory and very spicy combo of Black Garlic and Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper. Roasted garlic, onions and a special blend of spices round out this delicious umami bomb."

The Ghost
The Ghost is marketed as a "Spanish Inspired Hot Sauce", presumably because of the unusual butter-and-powdered-chiles base. This is similar to Spain's bravas sauce, which is traditionally made like a cream sauce by dispersing broth in a simmering olive oil base containing a blend of mild and hot paprika and flour.

Volcano Dust Spicy Chili Powder
Volcano Dust Spicy Chili Powder is a four-chile chili powder blend, and is one of many chile-based powders manufactured by Volcanic Peppers LLC. The chiles comprise the largest portion of the blend (as is typical for chili powders); the label does not say what varietals are used, but the Volcanic Peppers website identifies them as Ancho, Jalapeno, Cayenne and Smoked Habanero. Garlic and onion are next in terms of weight in the recipe, followed by paprika, then the ubiquitous catch-all "spices."
Boomslang Ghost Pepper Sauce
Boomslang is a three-pepper, extract-enhanced sauce from Ashley Food Company, of Mad Dog fame. Looking at the ingredient list, ghost peppers are used in the highest proportion, with bird's eye peppers and jalapeno peppers falling between garlic and onion, showing that there is more garlic in the recipe than either of these ancillary peppers, but less onion.
Outer Limits Ghost Pepper and Roasted Garlic Sauce
I don't know if this is a mashed hot sauce (where the chiles are fermented in brine prior to the sauce being made), but that's how it comes across. During the mashing process, as the yeast chew up the fermentables, flavors mellow and merge until you end up with a single monoflavor that is the sum of its parts, somewhat muted, rather than a number of big, distinctive flavors blended together like you will typically get from a fresh sauce (think Texas Pete or Frank's Red Hot, they are both stereotypical mashed Cayenne sauces). That's what I get on the nose here: a delicious monoaroma that speaks of ghost pepper smoke and the savory Malliard flavors of the roasted garlic; that, and a big vinegar tang that is, again, consistent with a mashed sauce. The palate follows the nose.
