Delicious flavors and a beautiful orange color are all packed into a bottle with a fun, quirky label design. Zombie Apocalypse is one hot sauce we can’t get enough of.
Update: I’m happy to say that several years later, this continues to be one of the best hot sauces I’ve ever tried.
Zombie Apocalpyse Sauce Review
I knew this sauce was delicious from the first time I tried it. However, I didn’t know how addicting it was until there was 1/4 of the bottle left and I instantly started to panic. This is just one of those go-to sauces that is tasty on everything.

This sauce has it all: heat, flavor and great texture. There is a reason
Zombie Apocalypse Scoville & Spiciness
If you’re a long-time fan of the show Hot Ones, you may remember this sauce from Seasons 3 and 4. Zombie Apocalypse lands around 100,000 SHUs.
Heat wise, this sauce is definitely tolerable for any pepper geek. The burn comes on kindly, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. You’ll be reaching for this whenever you need a tasty kick in the tongue.
For reference to other Torchbearer sauces, this sauce is hotter than Headless Horseradish, but not quite as spicy as Garlic Reaper.
Zombie Apocalypse Consistency
This sauce does require some light tapping from the bottle. (Make sure you give it a good shake before opening!) We find the consistency perfect for dipping and mixing. If a little extra pours out from the bottle, that’s quite alright, it won’t go to waste.
Where To Buy Zombie Apocalypse
You can purchase Torchbearer directly for their website directly from their website or from Heat Hot Sauce Shop. You can also find this sauce on Amazon.
Overall, this sauce has become a permanent staple in our fridge. We always have a back-up bottle in our cabinet as well.
