Spitfire Pepper Sauce [Food/Vendor]

Thanks Chef Obi(-Wan Kenobi ?).
The sauce I'm looking for is more for nostalgia sake.
You see, when I was in the little grocery store in Barbados buying the Spitfire Pepper Sauce (for $1.80 Barbadian Dollars), I looked at the local guy behind me at the check-out.
He had a bottle exactly like mine ... except his was full of local rum instead of pepper sauce. It was a kewl hip flask ... He took no bag and slid it in his back pocket.
Later on, I saw the same guy taking a swig from his newly aquired hip flask bottle on a local (Dibby Dibby) Bus.
There were too bus companies ... one run by the gov't which was quiet and had uniformed drivers ... and a private bus company that had no uniformed bus drivers but had a stereo system cranked up with some awfully nice (Dibby Dibby) island tunz.
The headz were a swayin' and a boppin' to the music on the bus. A real life time experience.

"Obi" is the Japanese word for "belt", as in what you wear around your waist in martial arts. In a Star Wars context this is not terribly surprising given that the Jedi are pretty-much lock, stock and barrel the Samurai. Right down to "the force" being "ki". BTW, "Kenobi" is of course "ken" (Japanese for "sword") + "obi".
I'm sure it's probably also a name. I knew someone once called "Aub" which is pronounced like "Obi" without the "i"
Picture is Takeda Sokaku - often called "the last Samurai". Garb look familiar at all (jedi)? He was the teacher of Aikido's founder Morehei Ueshiba.

Does anyone know where I can find a bottle of Spitfire Pepper Sauce ?
I got this bottle in Barbados a number of years ago. The ingredient list reads: 'peppers, relish,onions,tumeric,vinegar'.
It's a real yellow color from the turmeric and quite tastey.
.... and NO ... Chilly Chili's doesn't have it.
