Hi guys!
 
Was anyone here brave enough to spend $40 on a bottle of Tabasco?
If yes, how does it taste?!!  :surprised:

Nothing changed. I know a lonnnnnng time ago, the vinegar was wine vinegar I believe and it changed to distilled white, but this was in their first years. Maybe dragonsfire was around??? :eek:
 
The tabasco reserve is wine vinegar, the diamond reserve is sparkling wine vinegar and the regular recipe is distilled white vinegar.
 
Correct. Reserve is supposed to honor the original recipe, I read, once. Was white wine then switched to white distilled.
 
I'm sure too now that the peppers are being grown in central and south america that the flavor profile has changed slightly because of differences in soil and climate but whether it's noticable enough in the final product I have no idea. The seed stock still comes from avery island so I'm sure that helps a little.
 
I found it has less body then it used to be. I rarely bought a bottle back when I did (one a year) its easier to tell the difference when theirs a long lag period.

Crazy Monkey, please let us know how it tastes asap ;-)

I have family reserve tabasco at home which tastes not much different from original. They just replaced vinegar these crooks :)

Will do. Delivery is tomorrow.
 
I like the family reserve more than the original. Scorpion Sauce has a nice bite to it.
 
After growing my own peppers and making my own sauce, regular Tabasco is like light beer.
 
The heat of tobasco is fine but I hate the flavor. So far tobasco peppers and orange habaneros are the only peppers I dislike outside of sweet ones.

I do like that they're adding superhot peppers to it, though. Any expansion in the pepper business is a good thing.
