The Butch T. Scorpion held the Guinness World Record for hottest pepper in 2011. It doesn't hold the record anymore, but it didn't get any less hot. This thing is still an absolute weapon.
Fruity up front with a touch of bitterness, and then it just beats you down with burn. Honestly, it's hard to recommend what to put this in because it will make anything painfully hot. Hot sauce makers who want to push the limits, this is your pepper.

Growing tip: Scorpion peppers get their name from the pointed "stinger" tail on the pods. More stress (less water, more heat) tends to produce more prominent tails.
Add to cart and grow something legendary this season.
