I was not aware this particular variation on my favorite grilling sauce existed until a recent trip to Burn YourTongue up in Ogden, whereby I saw them side-by-side on the shelf. The original is not only one of my most used (during grilling months, anyway), but also probably the sauce I have given away the most of, as it makes for a very handy gift for people who like heat or claim to like heat, but are probably neither chileheads not desirous of becoming one. Also, given that I did not wind up doing any accompanying grilling video for the first sauce, I wanted to also bring that about as well (video is in process as I type this).
The flavor of the original has a fairly prominent cherry aspect to begin with, so I was a bit curious how much more this would have (or if I got a mislabeled bottle of the other one). Vanilla seemed to me something fairly easy to get lost in this kind of sauce, so I was curious there as well. Tasting it, I could not detect much, if any, of a difference between this and the original. Side by side, the only difference is an infusion to the bourbon, which honestly translates very little, if at all.
So, definitely check out the other review for the Original Bourbon-Infused, as most, if not all of it will also apply here. There is no practical difference as to heat or flavor, so the ratings will be the same.
Bottom line: While I was nervous about this iteration, as Cherry is not among my favorite flavors, this proved to be a near clone of the original, which is handy information if I run out of the other and can't find another bottle and this happens to be in stock.
Breakdown:
Heat level: 2
