Lucky Dog Hot Sauce Brown Label – Mustard Chipotle
Lucky Dog Brown Label just might be their most approachable sauce yet – especially for the general hot sauce loving public. With a line-up that includes mild, hot and super-hot blends, the Brown Label is their newest release.
Lucky Dog Brown Label – Ridiculously Tasty Mustard Chipotle Hot Sauce
Lucky Dog Hot Sauce’s newest offering called Brown Label also has the amusingly long name of “Ridiculously Tasty Mustard Chipotle Hot Sauce”.
But Lucky Dog can be excused. In our opinion, you can name your sauce anything you want as long as you excel in flavor and taste.
A unique style of medium heat chipotle sauce, with the rich notes of Meco chipotles and a dynamic balance between mustard, chipotle and cumin. Bartlett pear juice and figs add very subtle sweetness, while the creeping heat of the scotch bonnet chile builds in heat in a slow & sneaky way. ~LDHS
And Lucky Dog Hot Sauce Brown Label is already winning awards from all over:
- 1st Place Pepper Blend – 2015 New York Hot Sauce Expo Screaming Mimi Awards
- 2nd Place Medium – 2016 Scovie Award Winner
- Finalist – 2016 Good Food Awards – Pantry Division
The flavor profile is complex, yet the end result is simple and tasty. Deliciously smoky but not overpowering with just a hint of sweetness to balance things out.

*”Editor’s note:”* as they say. After posting, I realized I didn’t even address the “mustard” flavor referenced in the title of this sauce.
Scott Zalkind assured me there was indeed mustard in the “spices” listed in the ingredients.
While not noticeable up front in the flavor, the mustard component is surely a supporting player in the overall flavor.
I know I miss it when mustard is not in devilled eggs, or our crab cakes or even our baked beans. It’s an unsung hero in the flavor profile that I just love. Especially dry mustard.
Over to you, Scott. 🙂
I totally agree with this review. This sauce is one of the staples in my selection. Personally, I wouldn’t label it as a ‘taco sauce’ as I have tried it on just about everything! My personal favorite is a spread a bit in a bone in ribeye… Mmmmm… I even put a little in my pumpkin pie during Thanksgiving and it was delicious.
If you haven’t tried this, you need to.
Thanks Dean! Great support for a great sauce. You rock!
Indeed there is mustard! And while I am normally one to shun “spices” on an ingredients label, it was just getting to be too long, so the mustard, coriander and a couple others were consolidated to “spices” – apologies in advance for that, folks!
I really appreciate your putting Brown Label through the paces HSD! I think you’ll find that the mustard opens up on a brat or a pastrami sandwich, but takes a back seat when used on Mexican food where it does come across more like a taco sauce.
I’ll take a 5/5 any day, especially from Hot Sauce Daily where they seem to be in rare supply!
😀
Thanks again, and thank you also, Dean!
Wow. I never would have thought of a brat or pastrami.
Now I have more reasons to use the sauce. Thanks for the tip Scott.
Lucky guy! The best review I’ve seen thus far. Great job!!
Thanks Carline.
Five stars, wow, this must be a great one! Happy holidays to you two and your family!
I just bought 2 bottles from their website, i can’t wait to get it and try it. Nice review 🙂
Awesome, thanks Joseph!
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
