TABASCO Family Reserve Pepper Sauce, 5 oz.

This has become my absolute favorite hot sauce. Whenever I go back to regular Tabasco, I find myself wondering why it tastes so different. The Family Reserve version has a richer, zingier, and earthier flavor that really stands out. Everything I’ve read says it isn’t hotter than the original, but to me it definitely feels that way. There’s more pop and intensity in the spice. If this is what the Tabasco family was keeping for themselves all these years, I can understand why.

Decided to give this a shot, as my giant bottle of standard ran out, and the Scorpion only has so many uses as a daily. THIS TABASCO IS AMAZING. It's almost buttery/savory while giving a nice heat and delicious flavor. It's smoother in its notes, than standard by massive measures while packing a better heat. Not as vinegary, yet still holds its acidity so well. Just got my bottle maybe a bit over a week ago, and I'm almost ⅛th done with it. Try this sauce. If you like Tabasco, you will not regret it.

The best hot in the planet! Perfect. Really, no other hot sauce comes close to this 8-year old Reserve!

The best Tabasco ever

This stuff is fantastic used as a table sauce; if you cook with it, you are wasting your money. The Family Reserve is noticeably thicker, and has a much more pronounces red pepper and oak flavor to it. The use of White Wine Vinegar gives a more subtle and well-rounded flavor to the sauce if you add it to fortify your food when it is sitting in front of you on the plate. I actually prefer the original Tabasco Sauce when I am cooking something with it (finishing a soup), but if you have a plate of crawfish/shrimp/clams/corn and want to sprinkle some heat onto it, the Family Reserve is worth every penny. Although it maintains the character of the Original Tabasco Sauce, I find that it's missing the harsh vinegar flavor; this might be a good thing for some people, but it turns it into almost a different sauce.

This sauce is well worth the high price tag. I am a huge Tabasco fan and am a little bit biased, but I got more than I expected from this sauce. It is not very hot compared to the hottest sauces I have, but it is still probably around 7000-9000 Scoville units, and therefore is not mild by any means at all. The best parts about this sauce are its unique type of heat and flavor. If you're weird like me, you may straight up just drop a teaspoon or so of hot sauce on your tongue when you first try it. When I did this, and when I mixed a good amount of it with food, I felt a slow burn unlike any other sauce I've tried. This is much different from the Original Red Tabasco sauce, which hits pretty quickly. The flavor of this sauce is very distinct and enjoyable, and adds to food even more than the Original Red sauce (which is also pretty freaking amazing). I'll definitely buy more when I run out of my current bottle

I love this chipotle Tabasco. But I ordered the 60 ml bottle and they sent me the 148 ml bottle. I wanted the 60 ml bottle for my lunch bag. Very disappointed.

"Rolls Royce version" Tobasco. There is a royal magic flavor in this family reserve bottle...

Great for making your own dips

If you love Jaioppo you will love this hot sauce.

This sauce is delicious. Not hot, but full of smokey flavour.

I love this stuff on just about anything, OK not ice cream but savoury food especially things with cheese or mince. My only gripe with this is the size of the bottles. There is another brand that has similar taste, just not as potent that comes in a large bottle, I just know that you can get this in a larger bottle in the US so why can we not get it here?

Gemildert scharfe und spürbar rauchige Sauce. Im Vergleich zur roten, klassischen Tabasco Sauce schmeckt sie nicht nur scharf und nach essig, sondern gibt einen schönen BBQ Geschmack dazu. Tabasco typisch ist die Schärfe spürbar aber auch nicht zu penetrant bzw. abgemildert, besonders für Schärfekenner völlig im Rahmen. Was ich persönlich begrüsse, denn absolute schärfe nimmt auch irgendwann jeglichen Geschmack aus dem essen. Von den Zutaten her gibts im Prinzip auch nichts zu bemängeln. Diese sind jedoch deutlich umfangreicher als bei der Classic. Das Raucharoma muss ja irgendwie zustande kommen. Sie ist letztlich auch für veganer & Co. geeignet. Wer allgemein gerne rauchigen Geschmack mag, kann ich unter anderem auch Rauch Paprika Pulver empfehlen, in der scharfen Variante. MHD lag bei etwa 1,5 Jahren zur Ankunft.
