Since we use fresh peppers in all of our sauces the heat range will vary but usually sits in the middle of the range (600K~SHUs). The scoville units will change based on several variables. You can read more about it in our blog post here. 

Nuclear Option is Eli's sauce through and through. He made test batches from his fathers garden and would eat some of the superhot peppers fresh off the vine. 

He wanted to capture the floral and fruity notes of the Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reapers rather than just blow peoples ass off for no reason. The blend of peppers was meticulously crafted to get that right balance of fresh tasting off the vine flavor. 

We linked up with the owners of Ocean State Pepper Company and tested a lot of different superhots but none beat the flavor profile of the Reapers and Ghost peppers.

The test batches of this sauce were brutal (too put it lightly). When cooking this sauce we found out the hard way that we needed respirators and damn good ventilation. With burning eyes and nostrils we had made the perfect superhot sauce.
