About Rigmaiden Reserve

It Started With a Handshake. And a Bottle.

Michael Rigmaiden didn’t set out to start a hot sauce company.
He just wanted to be remembered.

As a notary working in Los Angeles, Michael was constantly meeting new people—clients, business owners, neighbors. He saw firsthand how easy it was to fade into the background after a job well done. So instead of just handing over a business card…
he handed over hot sauce.

Not just any hot sauce—his own, made from scratch, bursting with bold fermented flavor, and delivered with a custom label. It made people smile. It made them curious. And most importantly, it made them remember.

Those small, fiery bottles opened more doors than a pitch ever could. People didn’t forget Michael. They called him back. They asked for more.

From Drop-Off Gift to Fire-Breathing Brand

What started as a hustle hack became something bigger—a brand rooted in the belief that flavor should have a story, and that small touches can leave a massive impact.

Rigmaiden Reserve grew from handcrafted sauce to full-blown flavor universe, complete with original characters, serialized lore, collector-worthy merch, and one-of-a-kind customer experiences.

Today, every sauce still honors that original principle:
Stand out. Be memorable. Bring the heat.

Where Flavor Meets Fiction

At Rigmaiden Reserve, we don’t just bottle heat.
We build a world.

Our sauces are tied to characters like Cherry Bomber, Lady Bonnet, and Mr. Habanero Head—each with their own backstories, motivations, and mischief. This isn’t just branding. It’s lore. It’s storytelling you can taste.

Through audio dramas, artwork, merch drops, and future live experiences, we invite our customers to become part of the story. Sometimes literally—our “Build Your Own Sauce” feature lets fans create characters that might just end up canon.

Our Mission

To create handcrafted hot sauces that do more than spice food—they spark conversation, ignite imagination, and build unforgettable connections.

Powered by Hustle. Elevated by Story.

Michael’s first bottles weren’t made in a factory. They were made in a kitchen, one at a time, with heart and hustle.
That energy is still at the core of everything we do—from small-batch production and creative packaging to the world we’re building around every drop.

This isn’t just a product. It’s a movement. And you’re part of it.
