The Butch T Reaper Scorpion (BTR Scorpion) is a superhot pepper developed by Butch Taylor, who also developed the once record holding Butch T Scorpion. The BTR Scorpion is a cross between the Butch T Scorpion and the Carolina Reaper, so its heat level is believed to be well over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units. The peppers typically have a wrinkled and bumpy skin, often with a pointed tail at the bottom resembling a scorpion's stinger.
Despite its extreme heat, the BTR Scorpion pepper also has a fruity and somewhat floral flavor. Some people detect hints of tropical fruitiness beneath as well, but the heat tends to dominate the taste experience. BTR Scorpion peppers can typically be added to dishes to provide a significant level of heat. They can be used in sauces, salsas, marinades, and various spicy recipes.
