My parents went to Cornwall between lockdowns as a holiday since their American one was cancelled. They came back with a Rick Stein chilli sauce from one of his Padstow restaurants and it's pretty good in a flavour over heat way - got through most of it already - just red chillies, oil, ginger, white wine vinegar, garlic, salt and turmeric.

Picked up some Encona Scotch Bonnet sauce from Tesco. It's not dynamite hot but it has a detectably good heat to it and, like other Encona sauces, a lot of flavour. A very nice find.

I've moved from Econa 'origeonal hot pepper sauce' to the Econa Carolina reaper - it's not as hot as the name may suggest, but still has a good kick.
Heat wise id say it's similar to the standard one, maybe a smidge cooler, but a really nice flavour I cant quite put my finger on, kinda smokey.

My sister got me Wiltshire Chilli Farm’s Regret sauce as a joke, it’s an ghost + habanero + extract sauce and I can only handle putting the merest sliver into a tomato-type sauce without it becoming a battle to eat as it’s 12 million scovilles or something offensive. The bottle/labelling tells you exactly what you’re in for.

I'm loving the Scotch Bonnet Pickle from Chilli Mash Co. - Portsmouth based company making some pretty awesome stuff. Their Carolina Reaper chilli jam is also excellent.

Their sauces were very tasty last time I tried them, some on the very hot side as well. Only downside was a relatively short shelf life once opened.

Just got this delivered - https://www.sauceshop.co/collections/all/products/hot-sauce-challenge-set

Already acquainted with their buffalo sauce, it's delicious. Opened the habanero ketchup and oh my, I dread to think how hot the actual habanero hot sauce is going to be, the ketchup is insane. Very tasty though.

My other go-to sauces are Franks, Encona hot pepper, and my current favourite, El Yucateco Green Habanero, so much depth.

A huge thumbs up to Wiltshire Chilli Farm as a couple of others have mentioned. I feel like they make chilli sauces properly, i.e. cooked up from ingredients rather than blending extracts.

Their Habanero and Naga are great for a bit of heat, without blowing your face off. Perfect BBQ accompaniments, but also good for pizza and random home cooking.

They do have milder (fruity) ones too, excellent. I haven't tried their smaller ones as I'm a bit suspicious they stray into the "extract" zone like other companies.

I'm really enjoying my east coast chilli company ones - as above they are proper sauces rather than made hot from extracts. I guess it's a matter of tollerence but ive found the hot ones have a good kick for sure but not crazy hot, more importantly they all have a really good distinct flavour. If you can handle mass produced hot sauses likee econa, you can handle these.

The 'meduim' garlic and habenaro one I'd describle on the milder end of medium but its lovely, could quite ealisly use that neat as a regular dipping sauce for wings or nuggets.
