The 2011 Tabasco Family Reserve is the perfect gift for a someone looking to spice up their culinary life this holiday season. My husband, the hot sauce aficionado, said that this was one of the best tasting hot sauces out there. As a matter of fact, he had it in some tomato soup today! Your husbands will love this… or, you know… you hot sauce lovin’ moms might just like to purchase a few bottles for yourself.
The Family Reserve is a festive version of the well-known original red Tabasco sauce:
The peppers used to make the Reserve are literally hand-picked by the McIlhenny family and all of the peppers are grown on Avery Island, which has been the Louisianan home to Tabasco since it started in 1868.
These special peppers are mashed with a small amount of Avery Island salt (mined from the island’s salt mine) and are placed in white oak barrels and aged for approximately 8 years (regular red Tabasco is aged for 3 years)
This Family Reserve pepper mash is then blended with premium white wine vinegar (original sauce uses distilled high-grain natural vinegar)
This unique sauce is specially packaged with a green wax seal and a medallion certifying it’s authenticity! It looks fancy, ya’ll.
It’s available while supplies last! Head on over to the Tabasco store to purchase this limited edition sauce!
