“My best seller! Medium heat with layers of aromatic spices, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic and tamarind. A super-versatile everything hot sauce with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, spice and heat. Splash this on everything. Heat – 3/5”
Another one which I picked up at Chilli Island. Ingredients show that’s it’s a tomato/onion/garlic base with ~14% Scotch bonnet.
Consistency is good; thick enough to stay where it’s poured but not so thick that you have a fight to get it out of the bottle.
Heat wise, it’s reasonably tame. You can pick up the usual Scotch bonnet signature heat profile, but it’s not dominant.
Flavour wise, it’s tamarind, tamarind, tamarind and a bit more tamarind. With a side of tamarind. OK, I jest; the garlic’s there and there’s a hit of other spices, but really the flavour is largely tamarind. I’m quite a fan of tamarind, but in this case I was left wishing that either the tamarind had been tuned down a little or the heat had been turned up a bit. It’s pleasant, but I was a bit underwhelmed overall.
This is maybe the first sauce that I recall with a strong tamarind flavour, so certainly something different & hats off to them for that.
5/10 – Too much about the tamarind for me.
