The 5th hottest pepper in the world meets Tabasco in their new Scorpion Sauce! But is it really THAT hot? And how do they make hot sauce anyway? We traveled to Avery Island, Louisiana to find out and see if the scorpion really stings. Did you know Tabasco makes over 40 different kinds of sauces, marinades, and food products? On Avery Island, home of McIlhenny Company, the makers of Tabasco Hot Sauce, a family member still taste tests every batch before it is bottled. Incredibly, over 700,000 bottles of Tabasco are bottled DAILY on the island to keep up with global demand. Our favorite? "Family Reserve," which is exclusively sold at the Tobasco Country Store on the island. Family Reserve is the only Tabasco sauce made with peppers grown on Avery Island, and aged for up to 8 years (compared to 3 years for traditional Tabasco Sauce). We love it so much, that we bought two bottles (after running out from our visit in 2018)! The factory tour and restaraunt is a must visit for hot sauce fans, and a worthwhile detour off Interstate 10.
