Yes, at least the Habanero one is.  It's very similar to Melindas XXX.
I like the Iguana XXX (Pretty Damn Hot) one (with the frog) a lot.  
I haven't tried the others.

I don't find it to be blisteringly hot, but it has a pretty good heat, 
as good as any non-extract based sauce, IMO, though it does have 
carrots in it to sweeten it and moderate it, but most do too.  It 
isn't what I'd call sweet though, so try it ... you'll like it.  :-)

IIRC, it runs about $3-$5 here in the US. Not a cheap sauce, but not
expensive either.
