I have a local producer in Surrey called the Chilli Project: https://www.chilliproject.co.uk/
Nothing exceedingly hot but all have a nice kick with great flavour. I've been munching through a jar of their candied jalapenos every few weeks

Its not so much chilli sauce, but theres a cheap brand at Morrisons called Laila that have 1 litre bottles of sweet chilli, and chilli and garlic sauces and they taste exactly as they should for dipping sauces.

I made up my own sauce tonight, it’s a little bit too runny so will have to tweak it next time but it certainly packs a punch and was rather tasty if I say so myself.
Took about 10-15 to make. Cut top, throw a load of them in a pot, few garlic cloves, spoon full of honey, salt and xanthan gum, splash of cider vinegar. Boil it, then simmer for a 5. Blend it and job done.

Econa is not a bad staple if you're talking about thier standard hot sauce.
It's just not particularly interesting so it's good to splosh a bit into spag bol or a pasta dish or a bit on a pizza to zing it up a bit.
Thier carolina reaper is better IMO as its got more flavor to it rather than just being hot.
Equally a lot of the smaller aristan chilli sauce companies to some really interesting flavours.
East Coast chilli companies honey soy sauce (I think it's called midnight 21)is one example of probably hundreds..
It's pretty hot but you can also taste the soy sauce and the honey quite strongly, so maybe more suited to an oriental style dish or just for dipping.
I suppose it depends what you're doing with the sauce... Plain hot chilli sauce has it's place if you just want to add some heat but there are lots of interesting others.

I like RedHot or most cayenne pepper chilli sauce.
Recently I found this one is good although it is bbq sauce based.
Apart from that, I reckon Dr Will's Sriracha is pretty decent as well.

I buy this, lasts about 6 months in our house.

Lol! That size looks insane. Do you need to store it in the fridge once it is opened?
I am tempted to get one now!
No always keep it in the garage, the vinegar content will make sure it keeps.
Chilli sauce should hopefully be made up of self preserves.
The chilli peppers themselves are not friendly to bacteria! Throw in some extra preservatives such as sugar and salt.
And it will never really go off. You may have to skim the top layer off if it gets a bit fluffy

I very much enjoy the Encona standard sauce as a staple.
I often see large bottles of the Flying Goose Sirachi Hot Chilli Sauce in the supermarket...does anyone have any experience with it?
