My sweetie just gave me a bottle of Diamond Reserve Tabasco Sauce

[catbyte]

and it's awesome. In fact, it's so awesome that I went onto the Tabasco website to lay in a supply, but, alas, it's nowhere to be found. However, it's now selling on eBay for between $100 and $2,500 (!?!) a bottle. I guess the original price was $35 for a 6-ounce bottle. It's made with peppers aged for 15 years instead of the usual 3 and it uses sparkling white vinegar instead of the regular white distilled vinegar.

It tastes like regular Tabasco sauce, but with a much deeper, richer, more complex flavor. It's also a lot thicker than the regular Tabasco sauce. I guess I'm going to have to ration it, but oh my, is it good. It turned my ordinary scrambled eggs into an event. It really is wonderful, sigh.

Is anyone else lucky enough to have snagged a bottle?

2. I love Tabasco.

It's one of the few hot sauces that isn't just spicy, it has a very special flavor. I'd go for one of these reserve bottles but not at those ebay prices I'm afraid.

3. Wow that's interesting.. never heard of it. When I lived

In French Quarter you'd be an outcast to use Tabasco..had to be local Crystal sauce. But bet this one gives Crystal a great run for it's money !
