Scotchtalii Yellow

Scotchtalii Yellow is a modern named yellow chinense line in current United States seed trade, offered by Matt’s Peppers by March 2026 and sold alongside Scotchtalii Red, which is presented as a companion line with large pods, tails, and extreme heat.

The name links the line to Scotch Bonnet and Fatalii, two well-known Capsicum chinense peppers. In current pepper references, Scotch Bonnet Yellow is described as a very hot yellow bonnet pepper widely cultivated in Jamaica and the Caribbean, while Fatalii Yellow is an African yellow chinense with tapered pods, strong fruitiness, and very high heat.

Within that line identity, Scotchtalii Yellow is treated as a hot yellow pepper built around the yellow Scotch Bonnet and Fatalii flavour space, with a ripe yellow finish and a heat level consistent with very hot chinense types. Scotch Bonnet Yellow and Fatalii Yellow are both placed at 325,000 SHU in current Scoville references, which fits the way the Scotchtalii line is positioned in trade as a serious heat pepper rather than a mild or ornamental one.

The overall profile suggested by the live trail is a modern hybrid line valued for strong heat, yellow mature colour, and the fruity, citrus-forward chinense character associated with its Scotch Bonnet and Fatalii background.
