More Information

The Captain has docked — and he’s brought heat, honey and high seas flavour.

This sauce doesn’t hold back. It hits you first with silky honey sweetness, backed by the complexity of proper spiced rum, and finishes with a smoky chipotle kick that lingers just right. A true BBQ all-rounder, this is the one bottle you’ll reach for whether you’re grilling wings, firing up ribs, or dressing up a burger.

It’s bold. It’s rich. It’s balanced. It’s The Captain.

The Captain is the most versatile sauce in Waz’s range, and a top favourite with Smokey Rebel customers who like their flavours big, bold and just a little boozy.

It’s built in layers — real honey and brown sugar bring depth and sweetness; rum adds spice and warmth; and then the chipotle paste and hickory smoke deliver that fire-grilled finish.

This isn’t a gimmick sauce. It’s been used in everything from burgers to bolognese, pizza to pulled pork. Just a spoonful can transform an everyday dish into something worthy of a weekend cookout.

Whether you’re marinating chicken, stirring it through chilli or adding it to mayo for a burger drizzle — The Captain always delivers.

This is my go to sauce, it has so many layers from sweet honey, rum to to the warmth from the chilli. I’ve already stocked up for the summer as the neighbours request my chicken wings, which are coated in The Captain.

Tropical Flame, heat that is a bit sweet. Lovely flavours of pineapple, coconut, heat from the habanero & jalapeño but not too much that they blast your taste buds off so you can’t taste anything else. Heat gently mellows to leave them tropical fruits dancing around your mouth. Goes great on wings, or add to a sauce to give a little more life. Excellent as a dipping sauce in its own right. 5*****

The Captain - Honey Rum Sauce FAQ

Is this like a standard BBQ sauce?

Not quite. It’s got more complexity — the sweetness of honey, the depth of rum, and a smoky chilli finish. Think of it as a glaze, dip and marinade all in one.

Does it actually contain alcohol?

Yes, it’s made with real spiced rum — but the alcohol is cooked off during production, leaving just the flavour behind.

Can I use it in the oven as well as on the BBQ?

Absolutely. It caramelises beautifully and works great in oven cooks, especially for chicken, ribs or traybakes.

What allergens does it contain?

Contains celery, milk, fish (anchovy), and sulphites. Always check the label for full allergen info.

Is it spicy?

It’s more warming than fiery. There’s a chipotle kick, but it’s mellowed by honey and rum for a balanced finish.
