K-Sauce Legacy | Premium Hot Sauces from Parker, Colorado

Welcome to K-Sauce, where tradition meets flavor in every bottle. May Contain Nuts as the proud new owners of this iconic hot sauce brand, we are dedicated to continuing the legacy built for Keenan Lee Adams in creating exceptional sauces that combine bold flavor with the perfect balance of heat. Purchased in June 2024, we are passionate about keeping Keenan's legacy alive while expanding our reach to spice enthusiasts everywhere. Based in Parker, Colorado we bring you hot sauces made with only the finest ingredients and crafted to deliver an unforgettable taste experience.

Our Story: A Family Legacy of Flavor and Heat

The founder of K-Sauce with experience earned a rare talent—an extraordinary palate finely tuned to the intense flavors of capsaicin; the compound that makes hot peppers spicy. From an early age, Keenan developed a deep love for spicy foods, and his passion for hot sauce quickly grew. By experimenting with a wide variety of peppers, from the mild jalapeño (8,000 Scoville units) to the scorching Bhut Jolokia (1,100,000 Scoville units), Keenan’s father perfected the art of creating sauces that are as flavorful as they are fiery.

In 2004, Keenan and his father, both culinary enthusiasts, set out to create a hot sauce that would perfectly meet Keenan’s intense spice cravings. After careful planning and ingredient selection, the first batch of Keenan’s Original Killer Sauce was born. This sauce, later renamed K-1, was the first of many, with new unique flavors introduced each year.
