hot-sauce Melinda's Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce

We don't have a lot of hot sauce choices in the markets that I frequent, other than Mexican-style, but I came across this one yesterday.

I took it to work, and tried a teaspoonful. Red peppers specks were apparent in the off-mango colored sauce, and even though it poured fairly easily, it was chunky. Based on the list of ingredients, I was expecting "hot and fruity". Instead, what I got was "hot and vinegary". There was a third flavor that may have been the peppers, but I've never eaten scotch bonnets before, so I can't identify it. Anyway, after trying it again on some food later, I gave the bottle away. If this is a standard for a West Indies-style hot sauce, then, I guess I don't care for them.
 
Where in Southern Oregon? I'm from Roseburg originally.

I like several of Melinda's sauces, but I haven't tried the Scotch Bonnett. The flavor for this one (http://www.melindas.com/sauces/xxxx.html) is really great, in my opinion, but it lacks the heat that I'd prefer. Definitely worth giving it a shot if you can find it.
