The Sosu Barrel-Aged Sriracha may very well be the greatest thing ever. San Francisco's Sosu Sauces has created yet another custom sriracha, it made Srirachup previously, that is sure to please foodies and fans of spicy stuff alike. This custom sriracha is made from local and organic ingredients before being aged in a barrel.
A typical batch of the Sosu Barrel-Aged Sriracha is aged for a month, but Sosu Sauces is offering a batch aged three months to those who donate to its Kickstarter campaign. According to taste testers, the sauce is smoky and fruity, in addition to being spicy, of course. A pledge of $25 secures you one bottle of Barrel-Aged Sriracha. Higher donors get older bottles as well as custom Barrel-Aged Hot Sauce and Sriracha Salt made from excess ingredients.
