thats not a drink, its a sauce
Innocent Spaniards roasted by experimental napalm mead
Regular Reg readers will be aware that our Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) rocket wrangler Paul "Lord Shax" Shackleton, when he's not lighting blue touchpapers, may be found brewing 18 per cent ABV mead or blowing his own head off with 1.5 million Scoville masala omelettes, featuring the awe-inspiring Carolina Reaper …

Re: I think I will stick to mere Madame Jeanette peppers
I regularly make chilli con carne with Scotch Bonnet peppers. It is quite hot and the Scotch Bonnets actually add to the flavour. I tried with an equal number of Carolina Reapers. The result had less flavour and didn't seem significantly hotter. The downside was a nasty case of indigestion (a malady I do not usually suffer) which caused me to wake up in the night feeling as though I had swallowed a canon-ball.
Overall I found the reaper a charmless vegetable. The Scotch Bonnet (or the ghost naga if you want something hotter) has a better flavour for cooking. I've not tried the Madame Jeanette - I'll have to see if I can locate some.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum
"I've always assumed that the point of brewing was to create an alcoholic beverage that was actually pleasant to imbibe. I'm obviously missing something (but I don't think I'll miss it very much)."
I think certain distillers aim higher and wider than that lofty goal. For example I found that Wray & Nephew's White Rum pretty handy for sipping, swilling with 'Ting', lighting BBQs, and dissolving grunge.
I recommend treating it with respect, especially around naked flames (that is not a joke).

Depends on the target customer, I guess. If you are aiming at high-schoolers who have only the goal of getting drunk, then not so much. However, if you are a craft brewer, I would hope so. My first thought on reading the description of this stuff was that it is a sure recipe for ulcers. Burn, Baby! Burn!
