Windward West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce

Windward’s Indian Hot Pepper Sauce is a blinder!  The sauce has a traditional Caribbean pepper sauce flavour that you may have tried before with sauces such as Baron and Encona, very fruity, quite sharp, but with an undercurrent of mellow thyme.

    Where did you buy this? I got some a while back but never seen it since

      A cheapy shop in Stroud, Gloucestershire called ‘Home Bargains’. They do lots of end-of-line products so I’d imagine it’s being phased out, which is a shame.

    been using for over a year now , great sauce ! But bought new bottle , lable has changed slightly and so has sauce ! any one else noticed heat has doubled and taste has changed .

    Fantastic sauce. A real pity if they are to be phased out so I hope that is untrue.

    @geoff: the heat has DEFINITELY intensified it came as a shock to me at first but now I dispense accordingly and I swear it tastes better. Might have to invest and stock up a years worth! 😀

    Fantastic sauce. I sent an email to Windwards just to clarify the
    situation.

    It appears there is nothing to worry about. This superb chilli
    sauce is not disappearing anytime soon………….

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Well, what can I say? I’m something of a fanatic for
    hot pepper sauces, and, indeed, over the years, I’ve
    spent a considerable amount of research and money on
    them.

    Your product “Windward West Indian Style Hot Pepper
    Sauce” simply beats everything hands down.
    Not vinegary, not overly salty, just the right
    texture, and the heat – which is not for the
    fainthearted I’ll admit – is perfection.

    My only source in Dundee (goodness knows why)for this
    product is “Home Bargains”. Why it’s not dominating
    the shelves of Tesco or Asda I’ll never know.

    Anyway, I heard a rumour that this product was being
    discontinued – please confirm otherwise, as, with
    17 bottles in my cupboard, I haven’t any more space
    for storage.

    Kindest regards,

    Ewan.

    Good afternoon Ewan.

    Product is not delisted so take heart.
    I am pleased you are enjoying our Hot Pepper Sauce.

    Regards

    Bill

    […] Hot Pepper Sauce is very much in the style of a Caribbean Scotch Bonnet sauce such as Windward West Indian sauce, or the Encona Hot Pepper sauce.  The sauce has a great colour and large visible pieces of […]

    I don’t like this sauce. It’s not true authentic hot pepper sauce like the Jamaican one, which uses Scotch Bonnet Peppers. This Asian company has tried their best to take over the original makers by making their products look like the original, they use Habanero peppers and not a lot of natural ingredients like te market leader. Encona, Grace, Walkerswood (Sounds like their version) and others (research them) are the real original products. This cheap version Windward is under selling a cheap version to take the market. Try the originals my good friends. Merry Xmas and happy New Year to you all.

    I’ve tried many hot sauces over the years but nothing can touch this the perfect blend so many people are quick to complain in this country but not to fast to praise up certain products well I’m setting the record straight it’s bostin p.s my wife picked it up a few years back at you guessed it home bargains ain’t stopped buying it since

  10. Richard T on October 16, 2016 at 11:12 am

    I am enjoying Windward’s HOT Peri-Peri sauce also found in Home Bargans and I am very impressed with its HOT and lemony kick. I shall return on the strength of the reviews here for a supply of their Hot Pepper Sauce too. I have tried everything I can find in the market the fire-up my eggs in the morning and this nails it for me.
