Tabasco Sauce Is 150 Years Old & They’re Celebrating With A Limited Edition Diamond Reserve Sauce

Hot sauce makes the world go round (or, at least makes baland dishes edible) and Tabasco is arguably one of the most well recognised. In honor of their 150 years in the business, McIlhenny Company is is celebrating with a limited edition Diamond Reserve Sauce.

This special edition bottle is wrapped in gold foil and styled to look like a champange bottle. This small-batch sauce has been “made from a selection of the finest Tabasco peppers on Avery Island, chosen for their superior color, texture and robustness.” To add to the list, it’s also been aged for 15 years instead of the average 3!

“The resulting pepper sauce has exceptional complexity, while maintaining the signature flavor and vibrancy for which Tabasco Sauce is celebrated,” the brand’s website reads.

“My family and all of us at McIlhenny Company are truly humbled by the love we’ve seen for Tabasco Sauce that has brought us to this incredible anniversary,” Anthony A. Simmons, president & CEO of McIlhenny Company and fifth-generation McIlhenny family member, said in a press release. “I don’t know if my great-great-grandfather ever dreamed that his backyard start-up would have given rise to an entirely new food category. One hundred and fifty years later, I’m certain he’d be pleased to have brought so much great tasting food to so many people in so many places all around the world. It’s exciting to imagine where Tabasco Sauce will go and how it will be used over the next 150 years.”
