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.
Brown Label is the newest sauce from Lucky Dog
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

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.

3.5/5 – Very flavorful heat for a sauce that is the 2nd hottest in a line of six sauces. Not near the top at 4 stars, we backed this off to 3.5 stars due to the short lived classic habanero heat. If you like a medium-hot sauce, you’ll appreciate a bump up to the next level of this habanero sauce.
4/5 – Complex and delicious, lightly smoked and quite hot – another winner from Lucky Dog Hot Sauce!
