Definitely going to try that one!It's one of my favorite staple sauces..

Actually temptation got the better of me and a just tried a bit on a tea spoon...
First impressions...not super hot actually, maybe I got a mild bit from the top of the bottle, but a good kick, it has that classic fresh scotch bonnet taste, sort of green and fresh tasting if that makes sense..that then falls back to more of a citrus taste but theres no citrus in it looking at the ingredients, might be the acetic acid? thet then subsides into a fairly standard chilli tingle.
First impressions; good. You can deffiinatley tell it's scotch bonnet based... but it doesnt rip your face off with heat like a fresh scotch bonnet does!

That cayenne and mint one sounds good!
Its nice, and a bit different, but very mild and quite sweet, its more like a dip/burger relish than a chilli sauce IMO.

I really like Valentina Salsa Picante, but on wings only Franks will do.
Yeah it's pretty damn hot... I was wrong in my initial impression... as I just sampled a bit on a teaspoon without shaking the bottle so I must have gotten a weak sample!
The standard Encona is a better daily drive, packs a good punch without giving you an out-of-body experience!
But the Scotch bonnet one certaiunly has thet unmistakable scotch bonnet freshness to the taste.
Pro tip - if you end up with a bottle of chilli sauce that simply just too hot for you, you can use it by adding a few drops of sauce to a ramekin of mayo... mix it up and you get a really nice spicy mayo dip for chips, nuggets, wings, etc.
The dairy in the Mayo really takes the edge off the heat.

I got a bottle of that Encona in Home Bargains the other day and tried a tiny bit of it.
My lips were tingling for a good while and the heat was serious.
Only recently have I started using bird's eye chilli in my stirfrys and stuff.
It seems like you have to work your way up through the different heat levels and multipacks of toilet roll with this gear
